We loved taking part in this, telling our story and raising awareness about the Surrogacy journey. There's still a long way to go in the UK but hopefully more and more people watch this and see what's actually possible. This is a movement and one I want to continue promoting as more LGBTQ people become parents. Appreciate the lovely comments. Michael, Wes and Talulah.
Michael Johnson-Ellis
If I can be half the parent in the future that I saw in the both of you I'll be happy. Talulah is beautiful. Congratulations and the very best of happiness to your gorgeous family xxx
Michael Johnson-Ellis Your family is beautiful, thankyou for sharing😀
she is beautiful I love her eyes are so pretty
Micheal Johnson-Ellis because of this documentary I want to become a surrogate and because I knew after my first that i wanted to help people like you and your partner to become parents and to have the right to become parents no one should tell any gay couple that they have no right to be parents and i feel so sorry that there is still stigma around gay couples becoming parents and I have the up right pleasure to know that there is people out there like yourself that have stood up and say that I am in a same sex relationship with a child who was brought here be a surrogate mother
Michael Johnson-Ellis your daughter is absolutely beautiful you and your husband should be absolutely proud for your part in this
I had gay foster parents, and they were the nicest guys. They now adopted a child.
😳 why foster?
@@animeost9193some places its suggested or required to get foster credentials before adoption. depending on places it can also affect paperwork going through faster
also some people foster and sometimes they make a special connection with someone and adopt them
Adopted a child!!💖Blessings.🙏
"Where did you grow?"
--"In your heart."
I'm crying!
Absolutely loved this... " You weren't made in my tummy - you were made in my heart " ❤️👨👨👧👦
Karina Bailey that part made me tear up 😭
love is love and me thot that was so cute x
Karina Bailey p
This made me melt.
I died
I was a ward of the court after my mother died and in foster care. I felt like no one cared about me until I was informally adopted by a gay couple.I met him at my first job at 16 yrs old. They were so good to me and I will love them forever. I'm a better person for having them in my life. A good parent is a person that guides and protects you through life. I don't see how gender matters.

@Bethlehem Eisenhour No because they are GOOD parents and don't abuse their children.
@Bethlehem Eisenhour you skipped your meds again
@@andrejkovacic2254 lmaooo funniest comment I've seen
One of the best comments I have read. Your story brought tears to my eyes! I am so pleased you found each other. Ignore the trolls.
the lady he was talking to about being a surrogate mother, I don't know why but the waterworks wouldn't stop. She is such a wonderful person for doing that.
yeah, she was doing it purely from the good of her heart cuz in England it's illegal to pay for surrogacy.
And so brave, full respects for her
+I'm Irrelevant hii
16 year old twin with gay parents here! Thank you so much for making this!
This story reminded me of myself.
Glad to see more of us are coming, and along with that more open mindedness and recognition.
💪We are strong and we are proud🌈

@@xjulialunax3577 Really? REALLY?
@@xjulialunax3577 1st. They didn't even say the gender of their parents. 2nd. Is it really appropriate for you to be asking that question?
@@xjulialunax3577 clearly pretty good considering they’re saying that enthusiastically? Like that kinda question only makes sense for kids who are upset at the lack of a mom 🤨

@@JJ-ok2sm shut up.
@@JJ-ok2sm God might be good. It might be not your version of a god.
So if you dont wana make god mad, then dont go to gay events and tell young gays,
they shall not marry their loved same sex partner and shall not raise kids in responsibility.
Maybe you go down a very wrong road with that. I anyway send you a lot human love from a Deist :)
I'm 15 and for the majority of my life I've been abused by mother. She often used the excuse that she gave birth to me as a reason to hate me and hit me. My dad was the one who raised me and loved me but he waa at work so he couldn't always protect me. If I had a second dad I would not care as long as he loved me and raised me instead of hitting me. It doesn't matter what gender they are, as long as they love you the child will feel safe and love you back. I do not love my biological mother, so I really only have 1 parent.
I'm so sorry for you but at least your dad loves you so much, whereas many aren't loved by either parents!
I'm 56 my husband is 81 children are not in our future but I'm thrilled things have changed for the better. We've been together almost 30 yrs married 5. Never thought we'd have that right. So happy for you guys.
I remember Neil Patrick Harris saying that a child having same-sex parents has nothing but love because a couple who wants to have a child through adoption or surrogacy has to be very sure as the couple has to go through many legal loops and the process is extremely expensive
You weren't made in my tummy, you were made in my heart 😭😭😩😩😢😢😢
I'm not crying ,I've got hayfever 😄
keely hopwood Lucy and Beth both work at my school and Beth is my English teacher. I think I cried a little when she said she was on this show cause I was so proud of her. And then cried when Lucy said that. Did you see the little letter on the fridge. It said something so cute.
keely hopwood I’m now year 12, but I was at the school where Beth and Lucy work at. I unfortunately have only come across this video of them. But I’d like to say that I’m so proud of them and their relationship . They are beautiful women inside and out and as a pasted student and lesbian myself . I’m so proud of them❤️
I think kerion and his husband will be perfect parents
'ammunism' - is that like covfefe?
Exactly.
exactly how better for a child to learn from his dads, a woman's perspective in all facets of life .
@Kitalia the kitsune not to be racist or homophobic but gay people are nice white people ard nice put the 2 together they are probably gonna be too sweet and over spoil the child not to mention they are sorta famous just a tiny bit
@Kitalia the kitsune ill send a link of how I believe a child should be raised
Thank you! Forty years ago, it was so different. My six teens were taken from me, I was kicked out of my parish and to this day, my twins don’t speak to me! I also had to take a sanity test to keep my two youngest, ages five and seven. Twenty years later, I was allowed to adopt a family of four. So things do progress. I wish you the best. Trust in yourself. Forgiveness helps to heal. Love conquers all! Wish I could fly to London to give you all a big hug! Love ya!
Something about seeing men holding tiny babies that just fills my heart!

Love is the most beautiful thing in the world. Love doesn't see gender, sex, homosexuality or heterosexuality.
These two men LOVE each other and they obviously love these babies already no different than heterosexual dads.
Congratulations dad and daddy.
Love won't stop this child going through emotional pain and psychological turnoil when its older and wants to know why they don't have a mum and who is their mum.
@Bilbo Blaggins actually there's a good chance that will not happen if they are loved in a good house hold also the biological mom literally said she will acknowledge them as her biological children but not her to take care of (I'm only speaking from experience 😐)
Both gay and straight couples should foster and adopt children because there are many children around the world who needs good homes
Just because a straight couple can have their own biological children it doesn't mean they should ,
And just because a gay couple can't have their own biological children it doesn't mean they shouldn't medical science has come so far
There are children who need good homes
I have yet to make up my mind about having my own biological children and as a former foster I have never had a proper homes I was constantly abused as a child so I know the importance of children having a safe environmental to grow up in
Good boy Sexyboyy but if two parents who are straight are biologically able to have their own child, for a mother that is an amazing experience, just because there are other babies in need, most mothers want that experience, of the nine months, the birthing, even the breastfeeding.
YES. When my friend announced that she was adopting a child, somebody in her church immediately said, “oh, I’m sorry!” - they assumed she couldn’t have kids purely because she wanted to give a child who needed one a loving home. As a lesbian who’s planning to adopt, I really hope the world changes quickly so that my children never have to wonder whether they’re just second best.
this is honestly very inspiring I really don't understand why people still discriminate with same-sex parents just because there's two dad's or two Mum's doesn't mean that child isn't loved
this documentary made me want to becoming a surrogate mother. I never dreamed about beeing a mother and having children really scares me but I always felt bad because I'm healthy and I should be so lucky that I can conceive a baby. But I can't help that I don't really have a motherly instinct. the actual pregnancy doesn't scare me and I'm really good with pain and now I feel like maybe that was my purpose in life. I'm not meant to be a mother but I could give a baby to a couple who can't have one.
That's so beautiful, lately having a healthy baby and a process without complications, is very rare.
Go for it
The world should be blessed to have more people like you in it. Please never lose that kindness.
But the thing is...your Motherly instincts kick in AFTER you become pregnant!
Im curious after all this time did you continue with this feeling and seek it out or not.
I think one major thing that you all are realizing is that regardless of the sex of the parents, no amount of preparation makes first time parents ready.
It actually really made me think when at 15:56 he said about the process of giving their samples. I had never thought before about the fact that it's done alone in a room, the fact that straight people can produce a child from a loving act but if you're gay it's such a clinical process.
It's true, the process is clinical and even a bit strange when it's happening. But the moment you find out it worked, it's like the how never even happened. Because ultimately, it does come from a place of love. I speak from experience and I can honestly say, when I look at my daughter I never think about how she came to be only that I can't imagine my life without her.
That's good to hear :) as a straight woman I guess I'd just never thought about it a great deal. Makes me have even more respect for couples wanting children who don't have it so easy!
Bear in mind that many couples, men and women also have to go through the clinical process due to various medical problems that prevents them from having kids "naturally", so it's not just a gay thing. Also bear in mind that not all acts of conception is actually loving....
vrm935164, You have some serious issues and may want to seek counseling. Just saying.
vrm935164 wow. I really pity you. You must have some serious hate in your heart. I'd just like to ask you, at what age did you chose to be straight? At what point in your life did you chose to be attracted to the opposite sex?
While you struggle to answer that question, maybe you'll realise that is wasn't ever a choice, you were born that way. It's exactly the same for people that are attracted to people of the same sex.
Drop the hate, it doesn't get you anywhere in life. Let people love who they want. A child doesn't need a mum and a dad, a large portion of children only have one parent and they turn out to be just fine. A child needs to be loved.
I pity you so much.
The world is too complex to say there is only one way we can live. A family is a family regardless of who it is made up of. Congratulations guys!
Whenever Kieron and Carl talked about their babies, I just smiled and smiled, the want and love for them was so beautiful to see!!!!
Congratulations to you both!! No matter what, those babies are going to have sooo much love in their lives!! xx

You are two beautiful men with two beautiful babies; hearts full of love for them and each other; great dedication for the long haul ahead. All children should be so lucky! As far as acceptance goes, I heard an expression that said: "Those who matter don't mind and those who mind, don't matter." The greatest gift you can give your children is complete LOVE as unconditionally as possible in this life. Lots of hugs and kisses; telling them OFTEN you love them; that they are a joy to you; and you are proud of them always, no matter what. Make them feel safe, loved and very valuable and they will turn out all right and so will you! The world is sometimes a painful place, but these two little ones will outshine all that pain in your lives and they will become great sources of love in a world that desperately needs all it can get. Don't know you personally, but wish I did, and love you admirably from afar. I wish you and the children all the very best and will keep you always in my prayers. God has blessed you both greatly; be always thankful and show that thanks in all the love and sacrifices you make for your children and to all loving people of good will everywhere. Bless you all!!!
"i'll be daddy you can be dad"
What am I doing with my life this is what dan and phil will say in the future 😉 really proud of kieron and carl
yes homo yo dude not to be that person but they have said phan isnt real loads of times-
What am I doing with my life I know it’s so cute lol?
I love that 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
Daddy = top
Dad = bottom
My daughter is eleven years old and one of her friends has two dads and she did not even bat an eye or ask questions when she found out to her it made no difference .
Good you must of raised a good and understanding child
My parents didn't teach me about LGBT because they don't believe in them but when i saw 2 girls kissing I didn't even care I just stared while smiling and walked off with a smile on my face
@mark montgomery no I'm actually a girl with pcos
mark montgomery Why would anyone try to prove you wrong? Of course one cannot biologically come from two men or two women. That isn’t up for debate. But being a parent is so much more than biology, it’s about loving them and providing for them. The fact you think family is bound and limited by blood is sad.
mark montgomery God doesn’t exist, prove me wrong.
Being a parent ain't about if your a man or a woman or gay or straight it's about you showing unconditional love being a role model and feeling like you would die for your child. It's 2019 the world has changed and some people are so small minded. The babies r amazing and well done it's clear to see they will be great parents.
Kieron have plenty emotions to give out to their new family and you could see one at 27:22
Wow...that woman and her son saying he grew in her heart was so lovely.
This film has made me feel so hopeful for my future.
TheRainydayvideo ❤️
lots of good things arund BTW impeachment proceedings have begun against the racist monster in the whit house
And thank for providing a home for that child
Haha same
tuff nut Ukraine has good surrogacy law.
surrogates are so lovely to devote 9 months of their lives to make people's dreams come true
What a beautiful couple, family and story. Congrats to you both on your new family. I'm sure your both bound to be the best two dads any child could want. If you always stay true to yourselves and to your family, no matter what may come you will have each other to carry you through it. BIG HUG from a Gay brother in America.
I don’t want to be a parent but I am proud of these gay parents who want to be able to be parents!
I just think people should mind their own business and keep their bigotry to themselves
Neil Baker don't fucking watch it if you don't like it old man

THANK YOU KIERON & CARL! Congrats & all the best to this beautiful family.
Und ab sofort darf man in unserem Land heiraten wen man liebt ♥♥♥
Congratulations to you both! I'm sure you're going to make the best fathers for your two little beauties. Thank you for your documentary, and educating those who need educating.
My partner is a paraplegic and is wheelchair bound, we had to self inseminate but I feel it made no difference at all to the love we have for our little boy. We know he was made with love because of how he makes us feel everyday.
Shout out to all the unique families out there. Love conquers all!
I am a great grandmother, and all children need is to be loved. ❤ two dads, two mums, or one of each, love is love.
I'm a 25 years old gay from Morocco, a country that forbids homosexuality through the constitution, and watching this made me wanna fight more to free ourselves and have our rights to live back....you guys are blessed and inspirational.
jamie malek The world is changing. We all have to fight for change! Good luck❤️
We love when you said "you weren't made in my tummy, you were made in my heart." That is a beautiful sentiment and you have a beautiful family. A fun family activity to do with your little one is sing along to our nursery rhymes (sung by two Broadway singers) that include gay representation among other diversity topics. We believe in inclusivity and want all our little ones to understand the world is diverse and that's what makes it beautiful!
So sad that this isn't allowed here in Germany🙁. My husband and I would really love to have babies that are biologically ours...
I hope it becomes legal soon brother. stay safe!
God has the pen
Kieron has the highlighter
God draws the world and Kieron makes it brighter!!!!!💖💖💖💖 Support all the way!
What a beautifully honest and open journey -- can't wait to share in more moments with them and other parents in this documentary! Wishing Kieron and Carl many years of tiredness and happiness and making memories!
me too :) and Blessing :)
The fact remains that these babies were so loved, prayed for and wanted long before their conception. They are blessed to have you as fathers.
I'd love to raise children and to be married to a man in the future.
It's so terrifying to live in this society as a gay man, but that's not going to stop me from being myself.
My father is a single Parent and I am so proud of him looking after me and my older brother. My older brother is a Lecturer at the University and I am an Executive Director for an International Company. We are both adopted. Without his support, guidance and love we weren’t be where we are today. Thank you dad. ❤️
A parent is anyone who LOVES and PROTECTS a child. I had a biological father and biological mother but neither was a PARENT. Both were hate-filled and mean. I did not mourn my biological father when he died at 86, nor will I mourn my mother who is still alive at 100 as they were monsters in my eyes. I will love my husband and if we ever have children, that being doubtful as I am almost 75 and he is almost 55, we will give them the love we never had when we grew up. Our marriage of 21 years shows us that two people can love each other and be faithful to one another--a reality neither set of parents had having their marriages end in divorce and infidelities. Cesar and I will never let that happen as we have total communication and do everything together.
Same but only my biological mother was the horrible abuse one. I don't love her even though she gave birth to me. I don't even consider her my mom, I only have 1 parent and that is my dad. I am 15 and when I was younger I grew up accepting and not finding it strange that my dad and my bio mom did not love eachother. I didn't need a mom back then, I needed a parent who wouldn't abuse me to the point of attempting suicide. I didn't care if it was a man or a woman, as long as they loved me.
@@inspiringer6418 stay strong! I share your pain. Love does not come from biology or gender. It generates in an open and giving and loving and self-actualizing heart. My own mother is now over 100 and just as hateful as ever so her legally defined status means nothing (my only true joy is I have not seen the witch for move than 20 years). My relatives are the same and can roast in the hottest corner of hell. My husband and I have each other and a few friends who accept us as married and that does not bother them for they know we will last together and we are fortunate that Cesar has a brother (Dante) who knows and accepts us both as does his wife and children. Be of good cheer as you will create the family you never had with your biological mother and please remember her mistakes and do not commit them when you love another person. Gender is irrelevant.
@Aiden does it I would love to adopt a child. My husband is worried that I will not be here to see the child mature. Still, I want that option. Cesar is a good man and he loves children, too. We will talk about it further as we can afford it, have a big home and a big library (36,000+ books, plus incunables, scrolls, etc) and we both are multilingual.
Blissful family.These babies are so lucky for having such loving dads!
FYI: I left this message in reply to someone that disapproves of the act of surrogacy and commented that disapproval here.
I chose to post it as a main reply as well as a reply to their hate filled comment.
My reply:
I have a question for you. You say these men are misogynist because the found a woman that was willing to carry (surrogate) these babies for them.
Do you feel that a heterosexual couple who cannot conceive or carry babies to term are misogynist if they have a woman carry babies for them?
If at the time of birth the surrogate turns over the child(ren) to this heterosexual couple and the surrogate has no contact or limited contact with the child(ren) do you find this wrong equally to a homosexual couple?
If you answer that being a surrogate for a heterosexual couple that cannot conceive or cannot carry a baby to term is different than a surrogate that carries a baby(s) for a gay couple then you are homophobic and a bigot because you have double standards.
A woman that donates/sells her eggs or is a surrogate mom is one of the greatest gifts I can imagine.
I would think that a woman would know herself well enough to know whether she is capable of giving this gift well in advance of her decision to donate egg (s) or surrogate.
Also it has to be included in this plan of a non relative egg donor giving eggs and a sibling, mother or female relative being the surrogate for two men or a heterosexual couple.
I remember a few years back a story of a woman that had cancer in her reproductive organs, she was not able to get pregnant or carry a baby. Her sister donated eggs (fertilized by the womans husband) and her mother carried the baby to term. In your theory this would be a double negative as the egg donor sees her child being raised by her sister - aunt and the surrogate (mother) sees the child she carried raised by her daughter.
I see the love of a sister and mother giving the "mother" a child that she could not have without assistance.
I believe you would change your opinion if your daughter or daughter in law or your gay son couldn't have a child and chose surrogacy as their way of having children. I can't imagine a grandparent not wanting their grandchild because of their archaic belief.
I get the impression by your comment that you have more of a problem with two men fathering and raising a baby than you do with surrogacy.
In the end it doesn't matter, these two children will grow up in a home knowing how much their fathers wanted and loved them despite all the odds against it.
These children will know their egg donor loved them enough to give them life.
These children will know that a stranger loved them enough to give the life as well.
Unfortunately these children will know that some people would prefer they not exist rather than have their archaic beliefs questioned.
And finally all that matters is LOVE IS LOVE and in this case LOVE IS LOVE IS LOVE IS LOVE meaning egg donor love, surrogate love, dad love & daddy love.
"I'm a little gay boy! And I'm gonna' be a dad!"😂😂😂
People Who has disliked this has got No heart and compassion for others...
“I’m a little gay boy~ I’m gonna be a dad, yes I am!” I CAN’T BREATHE!
This was beautiful!! I think u may have just swung my decision to be a gay dad!
James Cunningham Do it! It's the best feeling ever!
My hat goes off to you Kieron for such a beautiful experience of becoming a dad, Something I always wanted, but could not make due to prejudices of my outing back in 1970. I cannot do it now because of my age, a bit late for me. I am 80 years old now. Congratulations and I hope all 4 of you are doing great after 7 years.
This is amazing!!
I will never understand how people treat same sex parents, surely having two loving parents is better than having a single mother/ father struggling to bring up a child or children when the other parent has walked out and cut off all reasonability's. I would rather have same sex parents than one parent any day.
Michelle McKeon As a gay man myself, I totally agree that same sex parents are just as good as straight parents and love is love. But as a child who was raised by a single mother, I do have to disagree with the rest of your post. My mom was awesome when I was growing up. She worked a full time job and still made time for me at the same time. I don't think any one way is any better than another. As long as a child is loved then that is all that counts. I share your excitement about this video. It is amazing!! Those babies are adorable.
Please don't try to praise one family arrangement by bringing down another. A single parent can be all a child needs, as long as they are loved and cared for properly. In my opinion, it doesn't matter by how many or what types of people raise a child as long as that child is well loved.
Chris Williams I was also a child raised by a single mother and I feel my post has been read wrongly yes love is love and my mum was also brilliant I was just proving a point that why are people complaining when actually it doesn't matter who brings the child up two men, two women, one man, one woman. Single parent don't get the abuse gay and lesbian couples.
Chris Williams -- You spoke for millions of us today. Thank you! My great-aunt and her wonderful husband helped my young divorced mom raise four of us while she worked - sometimes two and three jobs. My skirt-chasing father disappeared and never sent the alimony/child support ordered by the court. It wasn't until I was an adult that I fully appreciated and understood what they did for us by forgoing having children of their own. For that matter, It wasn't until I was an adult that I realized we were "poor". As far as my brothers and I were concerned, we never lacked anything - and certainly never lacked love!
Michelle McKeon being a single parent doesn't mean that the parent is struggling lmao
I never thought in my lifetime I would see men get married to each other and have children. It took until I hit 60 years old, and it's too late for me, but it brings me joy and a few tears of happiness.
Those kids are lucky to have such caring beautiful dads! Lots of luck to the whole family!
don't forget Handsome daddies
Kieron: *Shouting out the car window* IM A LITTLE GAY BOY, AND IM GONNA BE A DAD YES I AM!
Me: 😂😂😂😂😂 Love u Kieron!!!
I grew up with lesbian parents, and I’m 19 years old now. I call them Mom and Mumma. This isn’t a new thing, but the acceptance seems to be.
Who is your father? When I found out my step dad wasent my real dad it really disturbed me. I had to know who my dad was and meeting him was probably the biggest day of my life.
This was a wonderful picture of the impact on a gay couple on the arrival of their twin babies and the love they were ready to share as parents. Thank you for sharing this documentary.
I applaud surrogate mothers i couldn't do it as i know i would get so attached & probably struggle.
I'm glad there is some special people out there who do give other people the chance to be biological parents.
If anything convinced me it was Kieron's sheer joy and happiness when the kids arrived. He was beaming with pure joy and you just know he's gonna be an amazing dad, think they both will.
omg this is adorable thank you so much for sharing your story and you beautiful little cherubs xx
i have two mums and when my mum had me she was single with 1 4 year old and no job, i love her. she always sees the bright side of things and now is engaged to my wonderfull step mum.
Beautiful family! You can tell how much they love those children and that's all that matters.
Heather Mcculloch Thank you!
And I don't see a problem with two dads being loving parents to two lucky babies who are going to feel nothing but love so more power to you both
Congrats from 2 Texas Gay men...Lovely Family
john ellie love you guys!
And a bi teen😁😅
A child needs unconditional love and support no matter how you identify sexually or the color of your skin a child needs to be surrounded my LOVE 😍
Oh for God's sake, the married gay men I've met are WAY WAY more responsible and financially stable than many many people who are capable of reproducing the original way (a drunken man and woman in a car park outside the bar where they met that same night😉) so I would think the children with two daddy's would be much better off so get your knickers out of a knot.
......
I was brought up with No love or respect by a mother who was brought up in an orphanage where abuse was rife. She really couldn’t give love however she was also very violent. I ended up in a mental ward, my half brother ended up dying from drug addiction. So when I see people wanting to raise children they truly want and love I’m overwhelmed by envy. I truly wish you guys and your beautiful children a beautiful life.
wow!!! tears of happiness came out... congratulations to the new breve parents of those beautiful babies!!!
Nicolas Arrieta thank you x
I ADMIRE so much when someone really wants to be a dad.And actually they become wonderful parents. The love the dedication the caring. Just amazing. I wish all happiness informação the world.
Thank you both so much for sharing your story. Your children are so fortunate they have parents such as you. Bless all of you.
I'm only 18 now but for a lot of years I've wanted to be a surrogate and bring that joy to someone. Hearing the ladies story of her being a surrogate brought me to tears, and seeing how happy Kieran and Carl were when their twins arrived made me feel almost giddy with excitement for them. I hope one day I am able to make someone as happy as that by being a surrogate for them💖
They ARE like any other family. Congrats to this great, loving couple. Their kids are very lucky indeed.
Ignore the negativity... live your life with love. You and your husband are an incredible inspiration. Wishing your family the best of everything.
I am soooo happy for you and your husband. I am a South African, I'm 30 years old. I became a dad in 2003 when I was only 15 years old. it was tought. I only realised that I was gay round about the age of 17. I have a boyfriend for 9 years alredy. he loves my girl to bits. He is a dentist, but may not even work in her mouth coz her mom and their family dislike him. they say the are ok with me being gay but i should stay selebate. Can you belive that. My daughter loves me and my boyfriend. Her mom did marry and her stepfather is a graet guy. I could not have asked for a better stepdad for my girl, seeiously. My girl is 14 years old now, a teenager. And lets face it, thats when they are the most difficult. But she loves me and my boyfriend to bits. U always her her brag that she has 3 dads. She is not ashamed at all that her dad is gay. And usally teenagers would try to hide that from there friends, not my girl. I am so proud of her. It is legal for us samesex coupels to get married in South Africa and it is a big NO NO to disgriminate in our countey. But still in these times people can be cruel. my doughter does not get bullied at all for having a gay dad. seems that our younger generation accepts our live style better. It is funny how some of the older people cant make peace with it. my daughter tells me her mom and their side of the family tell her every day that she should stop comming to visit me. ( she stays with her). But i am actually lucky. Kieron I wish you and your husband the best for the futere. Those twins are only going to be a joy in your lifes.
Ryno Du Toit you're an inspiration honestly as a young gay girl this really inspires me thank you
Ryno Du Toit i
oh, this is beautiful. Kieron is actual my fave character as Ste in Hollyoaks, so seeing his journey outside the show is just amazing!
Awh!!! Super Emotional, and eye-opening. Wishing Kieron & Karl all the best. Enjoy making memories!!
Precious little babies! With amazing father's!! As of raising a younger sibling at an older age, I can tell you that the terrible twos are your biggest worries, teething as well, and babies love to pull on chest hair and hair in general. Worry about the now and look forward to a more accepting future. These beautiful children will have one of he most accepting house hold possible and amazing role models to look up too. I am slightly jealous, but more happy for the entire family than anything.
I'm not gay but I definitely don't think that there is a difference between straight families or gay families. It is completely unfair to judge someone if they are gay or lesbian . Congratulations the twins are so adorable .
This should be a Hollyoaks storyline. PS I love you Kieron!!
Congratulations omg! I cried so much watching this, I hope your twins grow up to be happy and healthy
kieron is so crazy i love him and i hope my dream of being a gay dad comes through as well
That was really moving. Congratulations to both Kieron and Carl. That is the only thing missing from my life, so can imagine there joy.
The journey it takes for a gay couple to have a child tells how much love these kids are guaranteed to have
This made me cry! Congratulations for your little twins! I am so happy for you! And I hope this report will make people's mind changing. I think gay couples have the right to raise babies too! Because we are all human and yeah we have to struggle with that to live in better conditions! Greetings from France x Love you ❤ Husky x
I love how u have shared ur journey of becoming parents. All children need is a loving, happy, caring, family. Try not take the awful shit people say to heart because u guys love the twins with all ur heart
This is just fantastic to watch, you two are paving the way for same sex parents and for us younger LGBT individuals who because of couples like you will be able to become parents and raise our children's in a tolerant and accepting society, thank you and best wishes to you!
Loved sharing this with you guys !!! XXX
Loved this!!! Just showing how many different kinds of families there are. The main thing a child needs is love and food on the table. I'm gutted at the amount of thumbs down, it just goes to show how much work still has to be done.
They let a baby go out of a hospital with a single mother (I am a single mother), but they are iffy about letting 2 capable, loving parents walk out with their own babies. Not that I'm putting down single parents, because I am one, and i was from conception till present time with a 4yr old daughter, but seriously, 2 dads would be amazing. 2 men to protect their child with everything they have. Now that's something if you ask me. Anyway. Lots of love. Xoxo. Stay safe everyone.
What a beautiful family!
Agree.
who would thumbs down this? they are 2 incredibly sweet guys who wanted to be fathers. those babies will be loved. this whole video was about love. I am so happy for you and your new family. congratulations.
Congratulations them babies are going to be so smart and beautiful because of you not because your the same sex❤
Love, security, and acceptance is all children require to grow up to be healthy, happy humans♥️. They don’t need a mother, they don’t need a father....they need a parent and anyone can fill that role as long as they can give the 3 things above.
you all on here are a inspiration. you all have so much love to give to your babies, bless you all.x
I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER for you two dad/daddy's!!! You are BRILLIANT together you four!!! It does my heart so good to know that you have made it this far and it is getting better and hopefully more and more accepting for LGBT' couples to love and be loved, by lovers, partners, children, parents, everything. Why should we not want everytone to have equality in love and families? I have seen that the gay parents I know work harder and are doing an almost better job than we are!!! Well done, you!!! Be happy! Be well! Prove them wrong!!!! And enjoy your little family!!! Much love and xxxxxxxx, your friend!!
