Growing up in an LGBT home can offer a unique experience for children, especially those with two dads. While some may see this as a non-traditional family structure, there are countless benefits to growing up in a household with two loving and supportive fathers. 
Children with two dads grow up with a broader perspective on love and relationships. They see firsthand that love comes in many different forms and can exist between any two consenting adults, regardless of gender. This understanding can lead to a greater sense of acceptance and empathy towards others, as well as a greater appreciation for diversity.
Kids with two dads also have the wonderful benefit of seeing more diverse role models in their life. They have the opportunity to see men in different roles, from nurturing caregivers to successful professionals, and are exposed to a wider range of experiences and perspectives. This can help them develop a more well-rounded view of the world and encourage them to pursue their own passions and interests, regardless of gender stereotypes. 
Another benefit of growing up with two dads is the potential for a more equal division of household and parenting responsibilities. In many traditional households, mothers are often expected (consciously or subconsciously) to take on the majority of childcare and domestic duties, while fathers may be expected to be the primary breadwinners. However, in a household with two dads, these gender roles are not necessarily pre-determined, allowing for a more equitable distribution of responsibilities and opportunities for both fathers to be more involved in parenting.
Most importantly, children with two dads grow up knowing that their family is just as valid and important as any other. They see that love and family come in many different forms and learn to embrace and celebrate the diversity that makes each of us unique. This can lead to greater self-confidence and a greater sense of belonging in the world, as well as a greater appreciation for the importance of love and connection in our lives.
This Father’s Day, we celebrate all the amazing fathers out there, including those with two dads. At The Fertility Agency we honor the love, support, and guidance that they provide, and we recognize the important role that they play in shaping our lives and helping us become the best versions of ourselves. Happy Father’s Day!
