Anybody who is badmouthing this exemplary couple should ask themselves: what good am I contributing to this world in which I live here and now?
Amen to that!
Good job dads where would these kids be without them this was seriously sweet and touching =,)
Reporter:"Every single one of these kids are kids that Noone else would adopt"
Dad's looked like they wanted to cuss his insensitive ass out.
I loved that both of them kinda looked at each other like "Did he REALLY just say that!?"

Some ppl have no idea
I hate that the interviewer said how the kids were ones others would not adopt..where the kids could hear that. Maybe they already know, I guess I am overly sensitive. Good job and what a beautiful family. You encourage me to adopt.
how come we don't have shows with family's like them
God bless this family ... I applaud these men.
My mother and father were foster parents and I am adopted and so is my younger brother and my parents had 3 biological but I have never felt adopted allways loved and so did the rest of the children that came through our home. SO hats off to you both and I thank the lord for people like you.
May God bless all of them. These kids look so happy... !!! These men gave a homework for all couples either hetero or same-sex, without kids, to take the same action and adopt orphaned children giving them love and home...
They're really awesome people for adopting all these kids.
the only thing I was thinking was " man 12!" 12 kids would be hard to raise, but they look like such a happy family! My hat goes off to these two fine daddies doing such a commendable job
Im 25 and i'll say by the time i am 40 i will be raising 15 kids all will be adopted...Different races and backgrounds..Dont nobody thinks that i can do it,but i will show them very well and NO i do not want money from the government for raising them,its all about the love when it come too the childrens..
MrISeeUPee lol, you should.
A beautiful family!
WOW these two dads are amazing. 12 kids adopted and looking after foster kids as well
God must be smiling down on this family
so sweet and touching,those kids are lucky to have such loving parents and those kids wouldn't have such good home without these two
Foster to adoption is a great idea. One less disruption for the child.
Beautiful story. Would love to see a "where they are now" update
They went on to adopt six more children. Unfortunately, they were fostering an infant girl when they left her in a hot car and she died.
cuteeeeeee
They really are a beautiful family ! :)
I'd love to adopt in the future. More then one would be great.
Bravo Dads. Nice job.
good for them!! made me cry
I don't care what anyone says those kids are being loved!
And this would be the PERFECT answer to the Duggar family. Love the good that they are doing for those children!
I wholeheartedly applaud this couple and their family!
WOW! How awesome is that! Kudos to Steven and Roger for making a difference in all of these kids lives!
What a lovely couple and wonderful family!
Sweetheart, I had a mother growıng up and trust me she messed me up. Its not about the gender , ıts about the person.
I support gay parents, I don't however support McDonalds anymore. I used to have Mcdonalds all of the time, and sometimes I still do. But a lot of the stuff on their menus are not good at all for kids. I watched supersize me twice in school and it made me disgusted with McDonalds. The only think that I feel comforted with eating is their pancakes and eggs, and cookies, and maybe their french fries but that's it. I'm not saying take down McDonalds, I just don't support the idea that much and would never take my child there for any meal.
that is amazing and wonderful
Blessings dear brothers. I hv adopted a teen who was seriously abused by his mother. Not easy dealing with teen years especially since I am nearly 80. My son is doing so well and I am SO proud of him. He is learning to put the hurt behind him, especially now that his mother has terminal leukemia. Thank you for your wonderful story.
12 kids in a safe loving home two parents school ecsessible to them and they are happy
Those children didn't get to have a mother, who would adopt 5 siblings and keep them together like that. Have you seen the foster system!? They will be just fine
That's beautiful family :)
I'm so happy that ur both doing an
Excellent job keep showing ur
Support to these children in time
It will pay off they will show u
Both how greatful they are to u
Both for caring thanks for sharing
Ur story I loved it god bless u all
Thank so much for your big hearts and strength. I went through Foster Care, it's quite the experience. Having a safe and stable environment to grow up in makes a world of difference.
Roger and Steven now have 15 children! 😄
To me this is such a beautiful family
It would be interesting to come back in twenty or thirty years from now and revisit this family. Are they incredibly rich, because they didn't mention how they got their money. You can't possibly have that many kids and hold down the sort of full time job needed to pay for it all, not without expensive help. So where does the finance come from.
I wonder if we are watching future nurses, doctors and scientists, or the sort of kids who will grow up and armed with their bibles, annoy us on our doorsteps.
Still, at least those kids aren't out on the street smashing up bus shelters!
Amazing family!! Kudos to the dads and the children. The adjustments that only true love can overcome
oh em gee, who are the hot guys in your thumbnail pic?
Forgot to add I am also a gay and now a proud gay dad
You can tell that there's love for all that's all that matters
Those straight couples with 18 kids you're talking about, most likely its their biological children, and if they can't raise these 18due to financial reasons then they are foolish, selfish and stupid for even conceiving the kids. But these two men are taking these children off foster care and are actually giving them homes. And just WTF?! You have just basically insulted ALL single fathers around the world who have raised successful children.
This family a blessing to us! And real proof that god has a plain for all his children gay or not he loves us all! It dum old minded pp that make it seem god hates gays. It not true y do pp put the blame on him? When the truth is it that no one seem 2 seem 2 take blame for something they did wrong. Or seem 2 change there mind
Wow this is awesome. And its even greater assuming that the kids are all american. Whats with celebrities adopting all these foreign kids? There are plenty of needy children in the U.S. So yea good for them. Really nice guys.
okay, perhaps i went too far saying that they will be "messed up". They may in fact turn out just fine. What i'm saying is that i grew up in a similar situation. (fourteen kids all together, and without the role of my mother, i would have killed myself. A man, gay or not cannot ever possibly know how to be a mother! And that is my point!!!
thts awesome good for them
I would have liked to hear what the dads do for work that allows them the time to take care of 12 kids! They all look happy and well cared for. I would have liked to hear the kids talk.
What's surprising is that there's a even number of girls and boys
Que Família linda! Deus continue Abençoando!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
My hat goes off to the two dads ,job well done ,you should both be proud .
Beautiful family!!
☺ 💕 xoxox

Now, there's a show I would watch. TLC, why haven't you embraced alternative life styles the way you have the conservatives?
Madison is my best friend ❤️
yes Dave
This the real life the fosters lol god bless them
I know a family with 13 kids
I feel like I am in the middle east again. Huge big families there.
Thxs for provinga point! only 5 minutes! last time i believe it was 2. before i leave you to sit in your room alone and unloved, as i said before, I'm doing a project on prejudice folks giving people a hard time. You are a excellent example! And lastly it's so nice of you actually going on my page to research me, In america we call that stalking or snooping but in your case, i guess we call it "I'm bored and this is the best my social life will come to" snooping on people's youtubes. lol. GB now
awww this is so cute 😍😍😍
gay have 12 kids? i dont belive that ......
What a nice story and a nice family too.
I’m super happy for them but how do people afford to send 12 kids to college
What about 17 kids in Counting?
I’m Firends with one of the kids
@ash19964
I fully agree with you.
Good for them😢 touches my heart
2 champions. Quel amour 👍👍❤️❤️❤️
nobody should be given 12 kids, far too many it is impossible to give them all the attention they need
How are they going to send the 12 kids to college? this is just crazy, I support it but it is not right 12 kids is too much, unless you're like a millionaire.
I know them they go to my school
@ov7spears i paid for my own college when I was 17, I use to work at the same time as I went to college, I didnt need my parents money
This is the gay Bates family!
wowwww wowwwwwwww well doneeeeee u so sweet good and kind family wowwwwww

I WANT TO BE ADOPTED!PLS...
This is a god damn train wreck if you don't raise em correctly and discipline em and teach em good work ethic, and manners. Translation if you don't raise em correctly.
i live with 12 kids no joke really!!!
I actually met them I went to school with some of them I was friends with Marcus since kindergarten we went to Richard E. Miller he moved to another school at 4th grade though
What a great family!
Where is their grandparents
beautiful family
If i was more finacially stable I would love to adopt these beautiful babies. My heart breaks knowing they may never be part of a family.
Those kids are so lucky and they're a gorgeous family. Amazing story, of how they came to adopt all 12 children.
What a cool family
Homophobia is actually reconized in several American health clinics who study this problem as a addiction (simular to racism). Tell me, if it isn't a word why does the red line not run under it when you type it into microsoft. And no, i am not "fucking stupid", i am a honors student, hopping to get insperation for a class project and i happen to stumble over a little angry troll who appears unloved and has a very simple vocabulary.
You can't ration with you people, your just angry and thats it.
A couple of great guys doing an amazing thing for all these children. The world needs many more people just like them! 😻💖
I feel the same way. I pray for more families to be as beautiful and kind-hearted as this one. Good blessings to the Hams!
This strory is so beautiful.. These kids have a great life because they have two loving dads...
God bless them

does the reporter have a stutter i-i-i mean

I just want to know how they can get all the kids to listen that good?
is it fair for children to grow up with thier mother?
They were in adoption, sooooo... No? They didn't have parents, and they have two now, and as you can see, they are perfectly happy
Donna Lini A lot of kids don't have mothers. These kids could just as easily be raised by a single dad, but they're lucky enough to have two.
Inspiring...really! Makes me smile and gives me faith in humanity :)
