See Photos Of 2 Gay Dads Meeting Their New Born For The First Time

The photo says it all! This is the emotional
moment two dads met their son for the first time.
Toronto gay couple, Frankie Nelson and BJ
Barone, embraced their new born, Milo, who was
born on at 4:15 p.m. on June 27 — right in the
middle of Toronto’s WorldPride week, which took
place from June 20 to 29. Milo weighed in at 9
pounds and 7 ounces and was born from an
unrelated surrogate.
According to Lindsay Foster, the photographer
who captured the moment, the two men felt all
the emotions that every new parent feels. Lindsay
Foster is friends with the surrogate mother, and
volunteered to photograph the birth for free. She
said she was excited to discover that the
surrogacy was for two gay fathers. Hear her:
“I had the opportunity to photograph this
amazing birth on June 27 for a surrogate
and two expecting and anxious daddies.
Hours were spent with them in the hospital
room while the surrogate mom was laboring
and I got to know them quite well.They are
two compassionate people who felt all the
emotions that every new parent feels. They
asked all appropriate questions of the
birthing mom and the midwife and educated
themselves as best as they could for their
son’s arrival. I am so proud of these two
dads.”
The photos have gone viral, and as expected, they
generated a lot of comments, both positive an
negative. The new fathers, Mr Barone and Mr
Nelson, had this to say:
“Thank you to everyone out there who has
taken the time to like, comment and share
our picture! This was truly an incredible
moment in our lives that will be captured
forever by the lovely Lindsay Foster
Photography. We are so lucky that we have
a beautiful, healthy baby boy! All comments
posted are respected, although we may not
agree with the negative ones, the positive
ones far outweigh the negative. Everyone is
entitled to their own opinion. This is a
moment of pure love and acceptance. Milo is
surrounded by unconditional love and he will
grow up knowing many different types of
families and accept everyone, (intolerant
people included). Milo was born during World
Pride. This picture represents everything
Pride is about. Love has no colour nor
gender nor sexual preference. Love is
unconditional. Thank you again from the
bottom of our hearts!
