Homosexual Dad Nurtures Cute Twin Girls, Captivating Hearts Globally
“We’ve Divided Our Day: Two Dads’ Journey of Parenthood and Love”
“We split the day into two, so one of us takes care of changing diapers and bottle-feeding while the other works. We both look forward to naptime,” shared Adam Motz, one of the fathers.
Every able-bodied person should have the right to be a parent if they so desire, even if they and their partner cannot have children together because they are homosexual. And although this is not legally possible in some countries, there are countries where same-sex couples can adopt.
An exemplar of such a case is found in Adam Motz and Amadou Lam, who reside in Chicago in the United States and are raising their 10-month-old twins, Reeve Christine and Sky Khoudia, together.
According to a report by Today, Adam and Amadou became parents through egg donation and surrogacy. Ever since the girls were born, they’ve been sharing their lives on social media platforms, particularly TikTok, under the moniker “2 Dads 2 Twins.”
“It’s like an album of our favorite moments, and the fact that people are connecting with it makes it even more meaningful,” said Motz, 34, who is a lawyer.
Right from the beginning of their relationship, they were clear about one thing: they both wanted children. Although they met on a dating app, they decided early on that they desired to build a family together.
“I knew I wanted children, but Adam made it clear that he had to get married first. My time was ticking, and I wanted to be young enough to have children. My back is already hurting,” said Lam, 40, who works as a property manager.
After considering their options, they settled on surrogacy. Motz recalled that his best friend, Amy Preister, had promised to donate her eggs if he ever needed them.
“In college, she said, ‘If you ever need an egg donor, I’ll do it.’ So I asked her if she remembered saying that, and she said yes!” shared Motz.
“We ended up paying $100,000 from start to finish, including egg donor and gestational carrier costs, doctor’s appointments, hospital stays, and other expenses,” he added.
As parents, both had to adapt to their new roles, and so far, the transition has proven successful.
“We split the day in half, so one of us takes care of changing diapers and bottle-feeding while the other works. We’re both looking forward to naptime,” said Motz.
In this regard, Lam emphasized that he has learned a lot during the process.
“I am impatient by nature, but children teach me patience. I enjoy life more, and I feel like a child again, especially when we play with the children, which I didn’t get much of as a child (in Senegal),” he expressed.
