"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 pictures liked over 6,000 times also attracted negative comments and the couple, Mr Barone and Mr Nelson said...
"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! xxoo"
