Tomorrow night (February 18) at 8 pm EST, the Discovery Health Channel will premiere Fostering Love, a documentary about two gay dads. Here’s the official blurb:
Fostering Love is the story of two California parents who have opened their home and their hearts to kids who desperately need both. We’ll meet Jim and Mark, a couple who has an unusual, ever-growing family. They’ve just moved from the city to the country, along with their biological, foster and adopted children. We’ll see the chaos and comedy of raising kids that range from infants to teenagers, while attending to a barnyard full of animals, and facing challenges as the “odd couple” in a rural community. We’ll understand what it’s like for this family to embrace foster kids, and the heartbreak that sometimes is the result of that commitment. We’ll also follow a tense and dramatic journey to adoption. Ultimately, we’ll watch an amazing family that has more than enough love to go around!
I thought Discovery Health was only obsessed about lesbians with large families. Now it seems they’re gender neutral, but still have a thing about lots of kiddies. On Top magazine has more about the show and the family.
Thanks for the heads up on this! We’ll watch tonite … After leaving San Francisco for Maine several years ago, my husband and I try to keep our son aware of the gay community among us since it’s not very obvious here (just not a lot of people to start with, so an even smaller gay population. But it’s funny/sad to hear him say, “Gay people should be able to get married just like anyone else” to his 11-yr-old friends who are shocked at the idea!)…. This looks like a good, educational film. And it’s on on at 8pm! Shocker!
