We thought with Carlos

According to the dads, after taking all them home they just worried about the eldest one named Carlos, his age was just 14years at that time. They were thinking that since he was a teenager, so it might be difficult for him to adjust in his new life with the same gender parents.

 “The other night, Max, our 7-year-old, looks at me and goes, ‘I’m adopted,’ so I nodded and said, ‘You can’t get unadopted, right?’ And I had to reassure him that he will always be our son.”

While talking with Good Morning America, the big happy family shared their overwhelmed feelings after having each other.

“Obviously, we knew that, but when I looked up and saw all those eyes, it was very emotional,” Steve also shared with the outlet.

“We never imagined we’d be lucky enough or blessed enough to have six.”
