...because your going to need them! If you don't somehow shed a tear over this very touching documentary on gay people adopting then you either have no heart or you got ice water in your veins. Me, I was bawling when it came to an end. This does prove that as long as a child is loved and accepted in the home they will grow up into well adjusted adults. It's a shame that more states don't allow gay people to adopt because states are bound by the strident belief in the traditional nuclear family. What makes a family? I believe as I've stated before that a home of people who love and accept their children is what makes a family in my opinion. See Daddy and Papa because it will touch your heart.
... View MoreDaddy & Papa, the documentary is a heart warming and yet realistic story of several families and the process of becoming a family unit. There are trials and tribulations within any families decision to become a family, and I think Johnny did a great job explicating those difficulties...and the rewards in this absolutely magnificent work. There are four homosexual fathers (or sets of) that travel through the process of becoming a family. They come up against several obstacles, not the least of which are homosexuality, racism, divorce, single parent hood. This film is produced by new day films, their company typically produces films with a message and this is not exception. Families come in all sizes and shapes, but it is truly love that binds us all.
... View MoreVery touching film depicting gay dads. The children in these stories must all be very grateful for the opportunity they now have to grow up in a loving home. Too bad America is going backwards and banning gay adoption. Must see.
... View MoreThis movie made me sick! Why? In at least three states in this country, perfectly decent and loving gay men and women are prohibited from adopting children. Many of these children end up languishing in orphanages or foster care for years, when they could have a perfectly happy and healthy homes with the kind of wonderful gay parents portrayed in this movie. Laws prohibiting gays from adoption, or de facto discrimination against them in the adoption process, are especially shameful in light of the well-established fact that the majority of child abusers are in fact self-identified heterosexuals, unlike the terrific gay moms and dads in this beautiful movie.So, see "Daddy and Papa", and then make sure to support gay adoption rights in your state!
