Anthony and Jason

Michael Simon Photography

"Anthony and I have been together for 20 years and finally "allowed" to legally marry the year our twin girls were born, two years ago. We are both listed on their birth certificates as their fathers. That is rare but thankfully becoming more common. Creating our family was a challenge from the beginning. We worked through three failed adoptions before meeting our surrogate. Here we are two years later with twin girls who are picky eaters, don't like nap time and love to sing and dance. We cherish every minute of it! We love each other as much as any other family."
