BJ and Frankie burst into tears when they held their baby for the first time.

On June 27, Canadian photographer Lindsay Foster captured the emotional, sacred moment when gay couple BJ Barone and Frankie Nelson met and held their first son in the hospital for the first time.

The photo shows the boundless love of a gay couple for their first son.

Photographer Lindsay shared, ” I had the opportunity to witness and capture amazing photos showing the anxiety and emotional choking of the surrogate mother (a woman who gives birth to a child for someone who is unable to give birth) and the two gay fathers on June 27. Being with them for many hours in the hospital when the surrogate mother gave birth, I deeply felt the mood and emotions that BJ and Frankie were having. They constantly asked about the pregnant woman’s condition and prepared mentally and with the best knowledge to welcome the little creature. I was truly proud and touched by their feelings.”

In addition, photographer Lindsay also confided , “A surrogate mother was pregnant and gave birth to Milo. She was very happy to be able to help and send this wonderful gift to the gay couple. She, her husband and their 2 children are all truly wonderful.”

BJ and Frankie both went shirtless when they first held Milo because skin-to-skin contact is said to be better for newborns. It also helps to increase the bond between parent and child.

After being posted on Facebook, the photos of the happy gay couple holding their newborn son attracted thousands of likes and shares from netizens. In response to the love that everyone has for their family, BJ and Frankie spoke up, saying that the photos prove their unconditional love and pride.

The happy couple took a photo together.

On their Facebook page, the couple sent their sincere thanks to those who have shown their love for their little family, and said: “This is truly a wonderful moment in our lives. We are so lucky to have such a healthy and beautiful son. Thank you for all the kind comments from everyone. Although there are still comments that disagree or oppose our gender, however, everyone has a different point of view and opinion. Milo was born with unconditional love and he will grow up, recognize and accept new types of families. Milo was born on the occasion of the world’s World Pride event (World Pride is a gathering of people from all five continents to remember the past, welcome the present and inspire the future for the LGBT communities around the world. ) And this photo represents all the meanings that the World Pride event wants to bring to people around the world. world. It is love that does not discriminate against skin color or gender. Love is unconditional. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
