For two first-time fathers, seeing their son,
Milo, gave them great joy and according to them it was an overwhelming and
emotional moment. Canadian photographer Lindsay Foster photographed the
poignant moment that BJ Barone and Frankie Nelson broke down in tears as they
welcomed their first child into the world. Milo was born via an unrelated
gestational carrier on July 26, the carrier did not use her own eggs and
she was very happy to have given this gift,' Ms Foster explained.

| Nelson and Barone welcoming their son; Love don't cost a thing
Ms. Foster, who said she spent hours with the
two fathers, said that they were well-prepared for the birth, but that did
nothing to lessen their excitement and anxiety. 'They asked all appropriate
questions of the birthing mom and the midwife and educated themselves as best
as they could for their son’s arrival,' she said. She also revealed that Mr.
Nelson and his partner were shirtless for the birth because skin-to-skin
contact is reported to be beneficial to newborns.
Baby Milo couldnt wait himself to his papas
So far, Mr. Barone and Mr Nelson seem to be
loving parenthood. 'We are so lucky that we have a beautiful, healthy baby
boy!',' they wrote on Ms Foster's Facebook page - the photo, which has so far
captured thousands of hearts, has garnered 6,111 likes so far. The men said
that they will respect all comments, positive and negative, writing: '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).'
They added: 'Love has no color nor gender nor sexual
preference. Love is unconditional.'
