What the heck are people meaning saying "why should gays get someone else's kid if they can't have their own"? Kids who are in the system don't have parents and don't belong to anyone! They aren't someone else's kid! They would be lucky to have parents that love them. Regardless if their parents are gay.
what do you think of ex exodus leaders Gary Cooper and Michael Bussee, and the fact Gary Cooper died of Aids in 1991, eventhough they have been together since 1979 and had a formal commitment ceremony in 1982? i think many christians would use that to question whehter gays should be allowed to adopt, as you might live a "hedonistic" lifestyle, regardless of whether you are in long term relationship or not.the only reason I am writing this is to giving you chance to explain your side.
Gays should NOT adopt kids thats really fucked up a kid living with two married men its nasty horrible..the kids will ask wheres their mom and other kids at school will make fun of them, it will ruin their life! fucking sick pigs..
@donnie8986 an idiot? so it will be okay for you if you get adopted by a gay couple knowing they fuck eachother' ass and it will be okay for you getting bullied everyday at school? you should think before you post so you are the idiot one for not thinking all the shit someone will go thru if that happens
@medusa1450 you really need to educate yourself...there is more straight anal sex in the world then gay people having anal sex. As for our kids getting teased in school they are very happy and popular for having two dads...We don't live in the backwoods like yourself where its legal to marry your cousin.
@medusa1450 Yes. It would be okay if I was to be adopted by a loving homosexual couple. I`m sorry I`m NOT a sexual deviant like you who only obsesses with what two grown men do in the bedroom. Secondly, bullied? I`m not in school anymore but if I had to deal with it, then I would take it up with administration like any rational human being would. Ending comments: Gay people are PEOPLE too! Stop judging people you don't even know. After all, being gay isn't a lifestyle or a choice.
@donnie8986 Im not judging them for being gay what im saying is that isnt right for them to adopt kids because it will ruin their life! they will see other kids with their mom and dad and they will ask where their mom is, and what will the gay couple say? thats REALLY fucked up, its okay if they get married but not adopting! youre not in school anymore but other kids are and other kids will obviously laugh at them for being adopted by two men, they will get bullied all the time
@medusa1450 So, you would rather have a child live in an overly crowded house and continuously deal with being shifted from house to house instead of letting a loving and welcoming gay couple adopt them? All because of the fear that they`ll get harassed because they don't have a mother (or a father in a lesbian case)? Let me tell you something; Although i`m done with school I can say for myself that no matter how many times i've tried to change myself for others to like me, there was always...
@medusa1450 someone who would criticize me; even though I tried my hardest to fit in. It doesn't matter if your eight or eighty, you`ll still get criticized, taunted, teased, you name it. In life you're just going to have to live with it and make the best out of a bad situation. Children do not need both a mother and a father to grow up healthy, kind, and intelligent. People come from all walks of life...
People who argue against gay parent adoptions make me sick. They are more interested in a political/religious agenda than helping a child find a home. They would rather children stay in the system than allow a loving family to adopt them. I see a loving couple that has a true passion to help a child. What about the alarming rate of single mothers in America? I am sure having two dads or two moms is better than a single parent.
When I was a young boy, I was very active in swimming and diving, often at the Pools in my area,, I have many memories of gay men coming on to me and my friends in the change rooms,, they would try to engage us in conversation and talk about their penis's and ask to see ours exct... Anyone who doesn't think that gays have pedophile tendencies should walk in my shoes.
You guys are great people. Thanks so much for taking the time and effort to put these videos together. I want to thank you guys for encouraging sibling adoptions and making a difference in our community. Your videos are greatly appreciated and inspirational. Not to mention, you guys make a wonderful couple. Your kids are very lucky. God bless.
I would fucking kill myself if my parents were gay. And I have no fucking idea why a Call of Duty video brought me here O.O And gays should stick with being without kids. Why should you get someone else's kids if you've done nothing to help bring them into the world. I don't care if their parents were drug addicts, they shouldn't be sent to a gay couple. Kids get bullied because of this. Then they go suicidal. I'm not against gay marriage I'm against gay adoption. Your fucking up these perfect
@Darkstar2398 First of all, just because someone is homosexual doesn't mean that they can't have and nurture children. Homosexuality not not a choice. You can't say it is, because it isn't, trust me. I don't think a child would rather live in a foster home in dirty, lonely, and unsafe environments over a safe and happy home.
@Darkstar2398 You should have been adopted by someone that would have helped make you a human being. You just became part of the problem by posting what you posted. You stated that "kids get bullied because of this" and I would bet all I have that it's you and people like you, ie, your friends, that do the bullying. You actually just bullied the poster of this video. We would all be better off if you just shut your ignorant piehole!
@Wishingstarification State adoption is where stupid ppl come and take stupid kids/teenagers away from their stupid families cuz the stupid parents r on drugs or wasteing their lives away in bars and pubs.......
:') Your guy's relationship is beautiful. I can honestly say I have never seen a relationship like yours. <3 Great luck with your futures and you have amazing, beautiful children.
when are they going to stop discriminating against my family,, we subscribe to our own beleifs and part of those beliefs is that incest is o.k... I have been having gay sex with my brother and cousins since I was in puberty,, Our father and mother got us started and we are all very happy people, We feel that we shoulb be able to adopt and get married just like the gays can... Stop discriminating against us..
I love your videos. Thank you so much. My partner and I are adopting right now and we are waiting for our placement at this point. We tried foster to adopt but we just couldn't handle it. Kids kept getting taken back or not placed with us at all. We finally gave up and just went for domestic adoption. Keep up the great work guys.
I actually wanted to say that I am really happy for your guys and your kids.
As a gay guy myself, I always wanted kids as well, but adoption rights do differ in Germany. However, I sincerely hope that other kids will find that love in parents everywhere, either gay, lesbian or "just" straight and that all those haters out there will someday focus on the important issues in life...love, respect, honesty, trust, truth etc...lots of love and strength for your guys. your kids gonna be proud of you.
@meimfast how about you get one. there are more orphans than you can even count, and i don't see you providing families for them. everyone should get a chance to have a family, so stop the hate and channel it into something can can help the world instead.
i would never want to be adopted by gay people sorry but i just don't really feel comfortable knowing that two men have sex with eachother its just wrong
well I am glad you have a family that loves and takes care of you. Maybe you should look into adoption and talk to kids who dont have homes with loving parents then you can rethink your comments.
A mansion indeed! You guys make such a cut couple, it's something about Bryan's shyness =]. I used to think that because I'm gay I can't have any kids, but your vids are definitely proving otherwise. I love kids, (love my nephew and niece to death) so I would like to have kids someday and I hope I can. You guys are awesome.
to the men who posted this video, my question is for YOU... so comments from others are fine but i will NOT debate things with you.
in your video, i see what appears to be a Christmas tree. that implies that you celebrate Christmas, which implies you're Christians.
how do you make sense of that & being gay?
please realize that i am genuinely wanting to understand. i want to hear your thoughts. i'm not trying to be insulting or anything, i just want your perspective.
I am so glad i have found your videos. I am a gay man, and though i do not wish to be a parent, It is lovely to see that there are possibilities out there for those gay people that do want kids.
Thank you for opening up and sharing your experiences. I have no doubt that your videos will plant the seed to help many families grow and blossom.
i just want to say that i love your family. :D you four are loving and sweet and wonderful. i know that i don't really know you and you don't know me but i just thought that i'd tell you that. sorry if you think that's weird.
What struck me most about this video is when you guys talked about your life before you children. Amazing how much you've been able to enjoy with each other. Sometimes I wonder if that's even possible. Guess I just haven't met the right guy yet. Congrats to you both!
you guys are so brave cuz i know a lot of ppl give rly negative comments to ppl that are not the same as them or do not fall under a certain category as them but i rly liked this video and we need more ppl that keep going no matter what ppl say about them. thanks for being you.
Islam is deception of evil initiated by a war-mongering peodaphile Muhammad.Stop spreading this shit jam Islam! You are are decieved by the best deciever (Qur'an 3:54)!
Yea I agree maybe when I am out of highschool and I am ready to face any comments. When I was younger I always dreamed that I would move to California so I could legally get married but now sadly after prop 8 I can't and it's so foolish and stupid of California not to allow equal rights. It's like they treat gay peope like dirt
@Nullygully the vote was somthing like 51-49. to say california treates them like dirt is a little insensitive. there are alot of people who believe in equal rights, like myself
I am 15 and I am straight to my friends because none of them really like or approve of gay people. My. Parents are the same they would never know I was gay.
Well I guess my advice to you is that you are young take your time coming out. Tell the people your gut tells you to open upm to first. Go slow tell people a little at a time. PS if you think that your parents may have a bad response don tell them untill you are strong enoufe to stand against any negative reactions you might get.
Your videos are awsome and so influential I am a young male teen still in the closet I don't know what to do. Can you help me..thanks I really hope to hear back
Hmm this question has to answered to each person... I dont think there is any one answer that fits everyone. Age? What are your parents views on homosexuality? How are you dealing with being gay? Feel free to email us and we can talk with you about it.
LOL I think bryan wouldnt mind if I was a little more bearish he has a thing for fat and Hairy.... Not a great motivator to work out... And trying to get him to manskip me is like pulling teath... LOL
I love you guys. Thanks for sharing your story, I can't wait to hear more.
I decided a while ago that if I ever decide to have children, [which won't be anytime soon, I'm only 21.] that I'd adopt them. There are too many children who don't have loving homes and families.
My boyfriend of 2 years doesn't want kids or want to get married. I'm fine with that now, but he knows that this is subject to change. I can't know how I'll feel about this in 5 years or more, but for now I'm extremely happy
Very nice video, and very applicable to everyone who's interested in adoption.
You guys are inspiring in many ways as you make me see the world from a different angle. I've never been much of a soapbox guy because I'm a little shy, but, well... I'm thinking twice now.
Keep it up fellas! You guys are obviously fantastic loving parents.
It's reasons like this that I look forward to seeing your new videos coming out. It gives me hope for the world seeing how you two have worked out a life together that we aspire to, and have moved forward to affect more lives than you could have believed possible. ;)
You have no idea how much I want to watch this video. More than any piece of film I have ever seen (apart from maybe the first Lord of the Rings movie) but it will only play 5 seconds for me.
I am so sad. Will have to try and download it from work tomorrow.
You're so in love with each other it's amazing. It's hard to stop smiling while watching this video.:) Happy to know you're going to post a few more about your adoption story.
Fantastic video guys! I'm going to show this to my mother - she's evangelical and strongly opposed to gay couples adopting (in fact, she's strongly opposed to gay couples period) but I think the amount of thought you guys put into your decision to have kids could help her recognise that gay people can be great parents.
First of all, sorry about my forgetfulness, I remember that Daniel & Selena have another sibling, but can't remember if it's a brother or sister. I also remember that this other sibling was in the system with Daniel before Selena and no one wanted to adopt them together for a year. The question is, do you stay in touch with adoptive parents of that sibling and do the kids get to see each other, how often? And what those other parents think of your family?
Daniel has a few older sibling still with biological family members...then theres daniel....followed by a younger brother who was adopted to another family...and then Selena.
Do the kids see thier brothers? And is they do, what are the familys relation to you and yor family, the original questions are up there in the first KirilleXXI post
No the kids dont see any of there other siblings. The brother that is younger then Daniel but older then Selena was adopted by another family. we made contact with them but they are raising him as there Bio kid and didnt want him to meet our kids. We get pics of him to give to Daniel and Selena. If you would do a video question about this it would be great to go into more detail about the kids siblings.
Yes they are hiding his history. They adopted him at 12 months old. they are Mexican and he is Mexican so I guess they think they can keep that kind of secreat
Yes, it's also interesting about the older brother who still lives with his bio parents: do your kids get to see him, and their bio parents for that matter. I know they have drug problem, but if they still have parental rights to raise the older child, maybe things are not so bad? Do your kids want to see their bio family once in a while?
Can't make a video question for technical reasons, otherwise I definitely would: I think it's an important one that raises other questions, too.
I understand that it's a hard story to tell, but that's the value of it: we, who decided to go ahead with adoption, should be prepared for everything.
Your sentiments regarding adoption are my views as well. There are too many children who need loving and stable homes. I personally don't want to be responsible for bringing a life into this world that didn't ask to be.
But I would like to be responsible for assisting a child have a better quality of life than in an environment they would not have otherwise had.
When people like Jay and Bryan who obviously are so meant to be parents talk about adoption it puts a warm feeling in my heart. I think this series of videos will help a lot of people who might be considering adopting.
I'm not sure if you've addressed this before, if you have I apologize, but what is Bryan's occupation? We found out that he works in retail, but where?
Fantastic video, I'm a major fan! I hope to find a partner and adopt kids too one day.
p.s. cute kiss at the end. We need more people like you two in the world.
I was in retail sales ...selling plants, strangely enough, at a local garden center. the scant amount of money I made there made it the obviouse choice for me to be in my current role as a stay at home dad. :D
I love your openess and honesty in everything you talk about, your children will grow up so well adjusted becuase they have you for parents :) you both make me so happy, your love for each other is wonderful :) still got to send my question!!!!
I actually am thinking about adopting in the future. When I finish college and finish my transition. I'm like Jay I want girls. But look forward to these video's. So I can get a clear heads up on adoption and see if its the right choice for me. Thanks! Love you guys! Happy Solstice!
I absolutely LOVE this. I'm adopted and I plan on adopting when I'm ready to have children. This was a wonderful and helpful video, you guys are great.
Loved this! We're also a gay male couple raising a now 22 month old daughter whom we adopted at birth, and are waiting for our second daughter to be born. Thanks for putting yourselves out there, and keep on doing what you're doing!
I am so proud of you guys! Dave and I have been together since we were 30. Back then (18 years ago) gay adoption was not even discussed.. Just think-if we had adopted then our kid would be in college now!! I often think of this because I would have loved to be a parent. Oh well..next life...
You younger gay folk..GO FOR IT!! Believe me..to rescue a child will make your soul shine.....
What an inspiring and informative video! I'm glad you've decided to make this important series of videos. I feel homosexuals are blessed in not being able to conceive children from the people we're in a romantic relationship with.
We're forced to go through the process of becoming parents with the proper degree of care and deliberation. We're smacked off the ego-trip associated with biological parenting, and are instead instilled with gratitude and appreciation of our hard gained families. Our eyes and hearts are opened to children in need. And we are forced to actually do something to improve this world, instead of increasing the problem.
I just have to say you both make such a great couple! I can tell that you really are caring, loving, incredible guys! I really look forward to your videos, they really help me a lot at times when I'm not feeling so positive. I was just wondering, have either one of you ever noticed how much Daniel acts like Bryan in the videos? It is so remarkable what a great match you all are for one another.
Sorry if I didn't know that KirilleXXI. I wasn't meaning anything bad by it, just that in the videos he shakes his head and hand jesters in the same was is all. I think it is great that Daniel takes from both of his Dads because they are both great.
your family is SO cute! i am only 16, but i want to adopt when i do have children(in a loooong time). your story is so inspirationaland informative! keep it up!
Thanks for sharing your story. I learn so much from your family. BTW, l along with all types of people live in Texas. Most of us are alright. I'm sorry you had a bad experience.
Thank you! My partner and I are starting to talk about the possibility of having kids... I'm on the fence, and he defiantly wants children. However I do want to travel still, and we're both in graduate school, so it wouldn't be anytime soon.
Not a surprise with Texas, I live in Florida, west coast yuck, east coast yeah! This is an important video, this isnt like getting a pet, much conversation and planning....really cool video guys.
What the heck are people meaning saying "why should gays get someone else's kid if they can't have their own"? Kids who are in the system don't have parents and don't belong to anyone! They aren't someone else's kid! They would be lucky to have parents that love them. Regardless if their parents are gay.

I am so glad i have found your videos. I am a gay man, and though i do not wish to be a parent, It is lovely to see that there are possibilities out there for those gay people that do want kids.
Thank you for opening up and sharing your experiences. I have no doubt that your videos will plant the seed to help many families grow and blossom.
Peace and love to you both.
Happy New Year.

What struck me most about this video is when you guys talked about your life before you children. Amazing how much you've been able to enjoy with each other. Sometimes I wonder if that's even possible. Guess I just haven't met the right guy yet. Congrats to you both!

Yea I agree maybe when I am out of highschool and I am ready to face any comments. When I was younger I always dreamed that I would move to California so I could legally get married but now sadly after prop 8 I can't and it's so foolish and stupid of California not to allow equal rights. It's like they treat gay peope like dirt

Well I guess my advice to you is that you are young take your time coming out. Tell the people your gut tells you to open upm to first. Go slow tell people a little at a time. PS if you think that your parents may have a bad response don tell them untill you are strong enoufe to stand against any negative reactions you might get.

I love you guys. Thanks for sharing your story, I can't wait to hear more.
I decided a while ago that if I ever decide to have children, [which won't be anytime soon, I'm only 21.] that I'd adopt them. There are too many children who don't have loving homes and families.
My boyfriend of 2 years doesn't want kids or want to get married. I'm fine with that now, but he knows that this is subject to change. I can't know how I'll feel about this in 5 years or more, but for now I'm extremely happy

Fantastic video guys! I'm going to show this to my mother - she's evangelical and strongly opposed to gay couples adopting (in fact, she's strongly opposed to gay couples period) but I think the amount of thought you guys put into your decision to have kids could help her recognise that gay people can be great parents.
tavdy79 2 years ago 5
I have a question.
First of all, sorry about my forgetfulness, I remember that Daniel & Selena have another sibling, but can't remember if it's a brother or sister. I also remember that this other sibling was in the system with Daniel before Selena and no one wanted to adopt them together for a year. The question is, do you stay in touch with adoptive parents of that sibling and do the kids get to see each other, how often? And what those other parents think of your family?

Original: I have a few questions actually but I going to wait until the end, see if i can make a video response.

Do the kids see thier brothers? And is they do, what are the familys relation to you and yor family, the original questions are up there in the first KirilleXXI post
swampex 2 years ago 2
No the kids dont see any of there other siblings. The brother that is younger then Daniel but older then Selena was adopted by another family. we made contact with them but they are raising him as there Bio kid and didnt want him to meet our kids. We get pics of him to give to Daniel and Selena. If you would do a video question about this it would be great to go into more detail about the kids siblings.
depfox 2 years ago
Did you try to contact the siblings with the biological family members?
I think it's not right to tell an adopted child that he is a biological child; they are basically hiding the truth from him.
hellophoenix 2 years ago 3
Yes they are hiding his history. They adopted him at 12 months old. they are Mexican and he is Mexican so I guess they think they can keep that kind of secreat
depfox 2 years ago
Yes, it's also interesting about the older brother who still lives with his bio parents: do your kids get to see him, and their bio parents for that matter. I know they have drug problem, but if they still have parental rights to raise the older child, maybe things are not so bad? Do your kids want to see their bio family once in a while?
Can't make a video question for technical reasons, otherwise I definitely would: I think it's an important one that raises other questions, too.
KirilleXXI 2 years ago

I understand that it's a hard story to tell, but that's the value of it: we, who decided to go ahead with adoption, should be prepared for everything.

Your sentiments regarding adoption are my views as well. There are too many children who need loving and stable homes. I personally don't want to be responsible for bringing a life into this world that didn't ask to be.
But I would like to be responsible for assisting a child have a better quality of life than in an environment they would not have otherwise had.

We're forced to go through the process of becoming parents with the proper degree of care and deliberation. We're smacked off the ego-trip associated with biological parenting, and are instead instilled with gratitude and appreciation of our hard gained families. Our eyes and hearts are opened to children in need. And we are forced to actually do something to improve this world, instead of increasing the problem.
