From The New Civil Rights Movement:
Photographer Lindsay Foster captured the moment when two anxious dads finally got to meet their son, born to a surrogate mother.
BJ and Frankie from Ontario, Canada, welcomed the little boy they named Milo on the same day as World Pride. Lindsay caught the moment when the new dads removed their shirts in order to begin the bonding process.

The New Civil Rights Movement:
Lindsay also posted this black and white study on her Facebook page below the full color photo on the top of this page with the message:
"Words can not tell you how wonderful it was to witness this amazing moment in time. But I am VERY hopeful that these images can make you feel the deep LOVE and admiration that everyone felt for this surrogate mom and the baby's new parents. These Daddies will most certainly be two amazing parents.
I look at these pictures and I immediately tear up.
The top picture is one of my favourites because everyone is included.
Surrogate mom and her husband, the new parents and their baby boy Milo, and two wonderful and amazing midwives."
Lindsay also posted on her Facebook page:
“They are two compassionate people who felt all the emotions that every new parent feels.”
Thanks to Lindsay, anyone who looks at these exquisite photos can see that for themselves.
And, from the dads:
Thank you to everyone out there who has taken the time to like, comment and share our picture! This was truly an incredible moment in our lives that will be captured forever by the lovely Lindsay Foster Photography. We are so lucky that we have a beautiful, healthy baby boy! All comments posted are respected, although we may not agree with the negative ones, the positive ones far outweigh the negative. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. This is a moment of pure love and acceptance. Milo is surrounded by unconditional love and he will grow up knowing many different types of families and accept everyone, (intolerant people included). Milo was born during World Pride. This picture represents everything Pride is about. Love has no colour nor gender nor sexual preference. Love is unconditional. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts! xxoo

These photographs pretty much tell the whole story here, so I don't have much to add except to say "AAWWWWW."
