  • As my parents are coming to visit us and stay with us for the first time, Bernardo and I are feeling a mix of nervousness and excitement. This is a big step for us, and we want to make sure everything goes smoothly. In this video, we will be sharing our journey as we navigate this new experience of hosting my parents. We will give them our room and will sleep on the couch, we will be figuring out meals, we will take you along as we navigate the ups and downs of this emotional journey. Join us as we tackle this new challenge together and hopefully come out stronger on the other side.

    Who are we?
    We are Adam (North American) and Bernardo (Brazilian) and we are husbands whose paths crossed back in 2016, when we both still lived in Brazil. Since the very beginning, we shared a common passion for travel and nature, which has only grown over the years and led us to this unexpected journey on RUclips, which has allowed us to connect with an amazing community that we’re beyond grateful for. “Go out and make memories” is our motto of living and a constant reminder for us that true happiness doesn’t come from the material wealth we accumulate, but from the memories we create and share with our loved ones throughout our existence. We invite you to join us in our crazy journey in life and hopefully we can inspire you to go out and make some memories on your own. Welcome aboard!

    We are back! Happy weekend everyone. Just to give you a brief background about my parents. My parents were raised in small towns and grew up that homosexuality was a sin. I came out to my parents twice, did the conversion therapy, came out again when I moved to New York and now they fully accept Bernardo and me. I couldn't be prouder to post this video and to see the love they have for not only me but for Bernardo as well. Bernardo and I know that we are blessed to have loving and accepting families. Our goal is to show others that two guys can be in love and that parents can change with time. Their surprise anniversary video will be posted in 2 weeks. Next week, we have a new video in store for you all.

      BEAUTIFUL opening! I also loved the footage of the other scenery--the garden and the waterfall, too. You guys are really getting very good with your content and editing! I'm glad to see that your dad is doing much better, Adam. And, kudos to your parents! Even though they are very accepting... even though you two have a beautiful apartment... I would have stayed in a hotel! Too close of quarters for all us to have stayed together without someone (someone like me) becoming claustrophobic! I also loved the intimacy between your parents, Adam. They just seem so relaxed and content with each other. I guess after 40 years together they should be! LOL!

    The love that you two have for each other is so genuine and apparent that it truly can't be denied. I know that once your parents saw that for the first time, they themselves couldn't deny it either. Watching them together showed the love they have for each other which has obviously been passed down to Adam. Thank you both for sharing your lives. Its sunshine on a dreary day. ❤ from Texas ~Deondray

      J C YES! My husband and I have been together for 36 years and Adam and Bernardo have helped us re-live some of our more youthful times. We have seen sooooo many similarities between their story and ours. In some ways it’s just plain weird and in other ways I’m happy that neither one of them didn’t have to go through the crap I went through (basically abuse in the name of love - not by my husband - he rescued me). All the best to you and your partner !

    Adam and Bernardo, I think this may be the finest video you guys have ever made! It has so many of the elements of great movie making. Beautiful cinematography, great atmospheric settings, Interesting characters, and not one but two great love stories. It’s so nice seeing your parents visiting with you and obviously enjoying themselves. Watching your parents walking arm in arm and being affectionate with each other made me think I was watching Adam and Bernardo 25 years in the future. Dad as Bernardo, quiet pillar of strength and Mom as Adam, the loving nurturer. 🤗🥰

      Such a big compliment coming from you Howard. What an honor. Thank you. You know, we put pressure on ourselves to top the last video and we are trying to think more cinematic. We wanted to do this video justice because this video was probably the most important, after the engagement/marriage, so we spent a lot of time on it. We are so thrilled that you think it is one of our finest, thank you. You are right, Bernardo is the pillar of strength and I am the nurturer. You are good!

I have grown to love you myself, just watching your videos, and the inspiration that you provide to all of us. I am older, probably not real long for the world, so it brings my heart joy to know that I can still have things impress me, whether it be nature, the world in general, or people like yourselves.

    Adam & Bernardo your adventures together inspire me tenfold. I've been watching your videos for two weeks now but this one with your mom and dad has touched me tremendously! I love how much they both embraced Bernardo. Your mother is a beautiful soul and reminds me of my own. Your dad is one that I wish I had. Thank you for sharing!

    Glad to see that Bernardo is being accepted by the parents. Been in that situation and it can feel a bit ackward for both parties but in time it gets smoother.

    Chicos yo perdí a mi madre hace 17 años y a mi pareja hace 1 año, con sus videos me llegan muchos recuerdos que me llenan los ojos de lágrimas pero a la vez me dan muchos ánimos para seguir adelante, sigan disfrutando de esto tan bello que Dios les ha dado, muchos saludos.

      Thanks so much! I was able to witness what love was through my parent's actions. They are very touchy. I guess that's what I grew up with and now Bernardo and I are just as touchy.

    @lpforever6273 5 лет назад +6

    Of course, seeing these beautiful men together can be painful to those of us not like them --- but then, better to see them so happy than to not see them, better to see them in a caring family unit than not. They are nice guys, these are nice people. We each have our own particular flavour of pain to deal with and seeing this happiness matched with this flawless music is a true delight. The more I watch, the more I suffer, but that is OK, that is nothing new to be sure.

    • @Stepsof2Foreigners
      @Stepsof2Foreigners  5 лет назад +2

      L&PForever, we hope you never suffer while watching our videos. That's not what we want at all. We suffer as well. We have our insecurities. We have our flaws. The thing that we know we both have is each other. The both of us have been in relationships that ended horribly where we felt like we were nothing. We had to pick the pieces up and to trust and be able to love again.
      We don't want to be judged for how we look but we are deeper than our appearance. I hope that makes sense.

    • @lpforever6273
      @lpforever6273 5 лет назад +2

      @@Stepsof2Foreigners Thank you for the comment back, I certainly did not mean to suggest judging you by your appearances--sorry if that was how it came across. I can see the sincerity, kindness, care and genuine affection emanating from each of you to the other in every video (even when you are teasing Bernardo mercilessly!). My intention was to put across in the comments area an aspect of my own experience, the bittersweet mixture of my delight to see you happy and the inundations from my own past and present that arrive simultaneously it seems. Your musical choices are unerringly poignant and apt, devastatingly so sometimes in their emotional impact when combined with the visuals.

    Adam and Bernardo are truly blessed to have such warm and beautiful parents, and hoping other gay men and women have similar acceptance and love.
    The Japanese Gardens were stunning in their beauty and so were the forest and the waterfall and the end of the 4 day visit . It certainly made me want to travel to Portland to experience these wonders. God bless you four and I look forward to being a viewer of your parent's 40th wedding anniversary!!
    I am about to celebrate our 40th anniversary in June 2020, but with the pandemic we may need to celebrate at home and not have a big party as planned.

      Wow Doug, how awesome is this comment. Thank you, thank you! This video meant a lot to Bernardo and me. We wanted others to see that parents can learn how to accept their gay son and his gay husband. My mom and dad treated Bernardo just like one of their sons. I got teary eyed recording some scenes (the one where all three of them are walking hand and hand... I cried recording it). This video was so special to us. Glad you enjoyed it.

It's such a beautiful thing to see, when someone can love who they want to and have their family love and accept the other person as well. One day the world will be like that and watching it in a video like this just gives me that safe feeling that everyone can have it. Thank you for another lovely and genuine video 💞❣
