Thanks to the scientific progress, families can now be created in many amazing ways. This could be with the help of surrogacy, IVF, or even biomaterial donation. Our today’s heroes are a gay couple who have wonderful triplets. The happy parents shared how their triplets came to be. And they also revealed the most common questions they get asked about their family from total strangers.

The happy parents went a long way to becoming dads.

Jake and Sean were both raised in strict families and admitted they both tried to hide that they were attracted to men. The pair first met on a gay dating app in 2012 and then started their close friendship. They bonded in the hope to help each other to “work through the gay thing”.

However, it soon became obvious to Jake and Sean that they fell madly in love. Nine years passed, and the young men became the proud fathers of triplets whom they welcomed with the help of a surrogate.

The whole process was long and difficult for both men. They revealed that, “It actually took four people to bring our family here.” The couple started with finding an anonymous egg donor and then having the eggs fertilized.

Jake explains, “We did some testing so that we would know which of those embryos were girls and which were boys, and then we implanted one girl and one boy embryo — one of each of ours.”

“And that’s how we got triplets!” adds Sean. “One of our girls decided to split on us! Didn’t happen the way that we planned, and now we couldn’t imagine life any other way!”

Sean and Jake became a real inspiration for many.

The couple’s heartwarming video about their road to three beautiful children has over 9 million views! Their followers are thankful that the duo shared their experience and spread the word about different conceiving options.

One user wrote, “I love that your girl embryo was like, ‘Just me and three boys? No way, I need a gal pal!’”

Another excited fan wrote, “I love watching y’all and your journey! I had the pleasure of being a surrogate 4 times! It’s a beautiful experience. Your babies are adorable!”

The happy couple revealed that they have a lot of awkward questions about their family.

Jake and Sean have recently made yet another video where they list the most insensitive questions people ask them all the way. The video has amassed a lot of views and reactions from people, and many of the viewers took the side of the happy dads.

Jake and Sean said the most common question was, “Will you still love them if they’re straight?” Another one is, “So, which one of you is the Mom?” People often say to them, “You’re gay, you should have adopted.”

And here’s another inspirational story about a single gay dad who adopted an ill kid and raised an Olympic champion.
