Between so many news stories right now that engender feelings of despair… maybe some of us need a little pick me up. Here’s one.
After a lengthy journey to become parents through adoption, Pete Buttigieg and his husband Chasten have at last become parents! Via Pete’s Twitter:
I’m so pleased to hear this. I and my husband are dads too, and it is a life changing and wonderful experience like none other. Pete and Chasten will be terrific at it.
More of the story here from CNN. Like many prospective parents who go the adoption route, they had some high hopes and setbacks, including a fairly recent “almost” where the birth mother changed her mind at the last instant. Which is her prerogative! But still, it had to have been a difficult experience for Chasten and Pete. I am deeply happy for them, that their dream of becoming Dads is finally real.
I turned out to be a Warren and then Biden supporter for 2020, but I really admire Pete Buttigieg as a person and I believe he’s got a strong political future ahead of him. Hoping the couple’s adoption process completes smoothly… and wishing their little one the very best of health!
