Dad’s Having A Baby

ATTENTION: Mature Content Matter. May Contain Nudity and Sexual Themes.

Logan and Greg could be two kids in any average American family. Except they have two dads and one of them is pregnant. Now, they are starting a new life in new town, in the US Bible Belt. How will their neighbours react to this extraordinary family?

This sensitive, intimate portrait follows an ordinary family, raising children and seeking to bring new life into the world, while believing that prejudice can be overcome if only people would see them for who they are: a loving and protective family unit.

Tom and Scott Moore have been married for three years. Born as Jessica and Laura, they each came from traditional families. Now gay men, they met at the local Lesbian Gay Bi Transgender group and fell in love.

Biologically, getting pregnant is no different for him and he just needed a sperm donor. In fact, the biggest difficulty faced by a pregnant man is other people’s judgement.

The documentary follows Scott’s pregnancy and the safe delivery of his baby son, Miles. Their lives continue to twist and turn when a freak fire, which burns down their house, forces them to relocate. They quit their jobs, pack up what is left of their possessions and drive their family 1000 miles south to start a new life in New Mexico.

Starts at 00.40.

Released 7 April, 2011. From the Channel 4 Bodyshock documentary series.

    @ leerwesen — I have no objection to grace at meals. I don’t know why this is an issue for you. Seems to me that just because someone is transgender is no reason fort them to give up on God or a normal family life.

    However, I do have some criticisms of these parents. Quote ‘Let the adults handle the adult stuff’. Right. I think they discuss stuff in front of their kids and cause them stress which they should have sheltered them from especially since they have a son with Asperger’s and so more vulnerable to worry. Do the kids need to know their parents are wanting to take legal action against their school. That hardly makes it comfortable for the kids to go back to school. Anyway, it all works out in the end. Also, these two people need to loose a lot of weight (especially given the fact that taking hormones long term is already a big health risk) or they might not be around to see their kids grow up. Otherwise, so far as I can tell they are doing all right. They each (adults and children) seem to have a lot of good qualities so good luck to them.
