“Birthmothers may seem front and center, as they are the ones who carried the child. But birthfathers are just as front and center. Their love and acceptance of a birth child is so important to the child. It helps them know themselves and feel good about who they are. By being available and showing an interest -- a kid feels that love and acceptance … We honor Andy (birthfather) as a valuable member of our family. He is just valuable for being the person he is, unconditionally.”
