First thing I just want to congratulate the both of you and wish your growing family nothing but health, happiness, and love! As a 🏳️‍🌈 🇨🇦 male Registered Nurse. I was wondering your perspective and thoughts about paternity leave. When you were talking about the night doula you mentioned the need to be awake/rested during the day to be 100% present for Bishop as well as your careers, if needed. In Canada we have 12-18 months (you are able to choose a year or year and half) of maternity leave, for each newborn (or birth, you would still only get 12-18months for twins, triplets, etc.) The 12-18mths can also be divided between maternity and paternity, depending on what the parents decide works for their family. I don’t know much about how it works in 🇺🇸 but think it would be an interesting topic for your second season of Daddyhood. Would paternity leave be something your family would utilize if it were available? And what is the current maternity/paternity leave offered to parents in 🇺🇸 I know in 🇨🇦 maternity/paternity leave is something that is highly valued by parents and is used to prioritize the new addition to one’s family, to bond, and adjust to the newest member of the family. Maternity leave is more commonly heard about but paternity leave is available and necessary for families with only 2 fathers. From my limited knowledge of paternity leave in the 🇺🇸 my understanding is, if it’s available it is a short duration vs the year to year and a half available in 🇨🇦. Would love to hear your perspectives on this topic.

What an Untold Tragedy. If you listen to this closely, it is all about these two men, not about the child at all. And this is the great tragedy - this kid will forcibly miss one of life's greatest treasures - a mother. These two men are pathetic, and are inflicting a great unhealable wound on another human being.

It’s pretty gross that you’re trying to dehumanize and erase his biological mother. He carries 50% of the egg donor’s dna, she IS his BIOLOGICAL mother. Please don’t be resistant when he wants to find her as an adult because her ancestors are his ancestors and her history is his history. My Mom grew up wanting to find her biological father and Grandma gave her hell for it, Grandma died estranged from her kids because she didn’t want her looking for her other biological parent.

What a sweet soul Jordan is 🥰 so so happy for you guys, Bishop is a lucky boy x

How are you doing? I am a regular viewer from your channel. I am just here to tell you that you are creating very amazing content. Good luck to you. Your TH-cam channel to share with you some important problems that are preventing your channel growth.

I think you guys are breaking down barriers and making family and child rearing by gay parents a more accepted way of life.God Bless your beautiful family and sweet little ❤️ Bishop!!

Colton, I totally love your openness during this discussion. That you guys shared sexual intimacy during your surrogate's transfer is just so beautiful and meaningful. Sending love to you both ❤❤

Does the egg donor and surrogate have a chance to change their mind and keep the baby for themselves ?

Such a gift that Bishop has amazing and loving daddy’s!❤

There is plenty of proof out there that shows and proves surrogate parents are the fathers or mothers, which ever they want to use. The child will grow up with two loving parents and will receive the best life can offer. Those invasive questions, I’m glad you chose not to answer. Because quite frankly, and first, it’s not their business. And two, I feel quite sure those people posting those asinine questions are clearly ill intended and only meant to ask more stupid questions behind any answer you give them. Having put that aside, let me say a huge Congratulations on the arrival of your new son. I know you both will be amazing parents and you both are so fortunate to have this “light” added to your lives.

I am adopted and talk a lot about this i my global lecture programs. I am a gay man, my brother and I are both adopted, both from different families and ...both gay! My parents later on were very homophobic and not a lot of love in our home. I am a survivor. You are bringing up your son in love and inclusion. Thank you and keep being you!

❤Just found you guys! Congrats for everything❤love from Finland

Bishop has a great head of hair 😊 what a beautiful boy. Congratulations to you both ❤

A beautiful family! This is what the Democratic Party wants, Vote Kamala! 💙💙💙

I love the way that Jordan is feeding and holding Bishop. Very much in tune with him.

You two are great together and wonderful parents. Little Bishop is very lucky to have you as his parents. All the best and I look forward to watching him and your family grow.

He's was unsettled that entire podcast, not just a loud sleeper and grunter. Like you both said, he is a great communicator. I was waiting for the loud grand finale to pass. Burp more. Welcome to being parents, where unsolicited advice is a given. Sorry.

he does have a mom, that's just a fact. he wouldn't be here if he didn't have a mom. you are just pretending he doesn't. the fact that in one breath you say he "doesn't and will never have a mom" then say "i''m a mama's boy" just amplifies how sad it is that you are depriving him of a parent. it's one thing if you don't have a parent due to death or having to be removed from an unstable situation, but it's another thing to purposefully create a baby then rip him away from his mommy. all for a couple of selfish dudes who feel they have a right to have a baby no matter their lifestyle. men and women are not interchangeable, and kids need their moms. poor sweet boy.

This is a really beautiful family. I'm so happy to see Bishop being so confortable and healthy. Congratulations to Colton and Jordan.

Non-toxic mom of four here, you MUST try Colic Calm vs. the gas drops, it’s a GAME CHANGER, works leagues better/longer and totally homeopathic, in glass etc. I LOVE how you two have stepped into this role and shared he is a “great communicator” that is such a beautiful realization I am going to apply in my “hard” moments 💛

Man im so happy for you guys.. i could cry! Baby Bishop is so blessed to have you two as his parents. God is so good... Also so excited for season two of Daddyhood!!!!

Yay yay yay!!! Thank you for giving us this episode. Such a blessing to hear from you, when at the end of the day, you didn’t have to do this ep. Grateful to share this with you. Sending hugs and prayers to you three!❤

I wanted to congratulate both of you on the arrival of your baby boy and warmly welcome you to parenthood! He’s absolutely perfect! Thank you for addressing these important topics-it's truly helpful. I recently had a similar experience with my father-in-law. My wife and I did IVF and welcomed our baby boy in February 2024. During a conversation, my father-in-law referred to the sperm donor as my son’s “dad,” and I gently corrected him, saying, “He’s the sperm donor; he doesn’t have a dad.” My father-in-law apologized immediately, and it was a good opportunity to raise awareness about how we view family roles in this journey.

You can't erase his biological mother. He has one, everyone does. He'll want to know her one day, just like you know your biological mother.

Congratulations on the arrival of your son.

Congratulations what a beautiful family. You’ll drive yourself absolutely crazy if you try to listen to everyone’s opinion, your instinct is your driver force. ❤

Jordan looks so sweet with Baby Bishop🥰🥰🥰🥰

Congratulations! What a beautiful family! Bishop is absolutely beautiful! I wish you all the very best, you are both great dads, good job so far ❤

Oh, HE HAS A MOTHER, you and her just chose for her not to be in his life. your son would not have been born WITHOUT A FEMALE.

Congratulations, Jordan and Colton! Bishop is beautiful.

Amazing couple ❤ ..Happy 1st November

Congratulations ❤

First of all, a huge CONGRATULATIONS to you both🎉 Bishop is absolutely adorable. Now I’m throwing in my 2 cents….lol I was not at all surprised to hear that followers were asking such intrusive and hurtful questions, people are just crass sometimes, but what surprised me is that your inner circle, family and friends were asking them also. Bottom line it does not even matter whose sperm did the fertilizing. Bishop is both of yours, and will always be both of yours. Do not let stupid inquiries detract from this awesome experience you are on. Colton you would never know that you were a little nervous for the newborn stage, you and Jordan both seemed to have taken to this like bees to honey. All the outfits have been spot on. You’ve got this. Remember babies don’t come with owners manuals, you will quickly learn what works and what doesn’t, no need to defend any action you take where Bishop is concerned to anyone, you are the dad’s period..can’t wait for season 2..

Congratulations! ❤❤❤

Bishop is so adorable! Such a beautiful family. ❤ Congratulations!

Congratulations! Thanks for being so open! Much love to you all! So excited for your adventure!

Amazing Couple ❤! And Colton is so adorable 😊.

Congratulations 🥳 you two! I love the end of this episode when Colton said " I hope I did not embarrass you" that message has so much love to Jordan. Love this couple! You will be an amazing Dad to Bishop!

I see Colton being more nurturing and emotionally supportive while I can definitely see Jordan being more strict and authoritarian if necessary.

Exactly what we say does matter. Like when you suggest Bishop doesn't have a mother. Two men can't make a baby and he will want to know where he came from. Every human does.

you are so evil. Your son DOES have a mother. To claim he doesn't is sick, selfish erasure. Exactly what I would expect from a narcissistic 🚬got tho !

As a person who is in the lbgtq+ community the biggest thing we face as a family is lack of understanding. I identify as pan or fluid so I’m able to connect with anyone but I’m also a demisexual so I have to have a connection. The person I fell in love with is my wife and people can’t grasp that idea and find our relationship weird because I’m not straight. But we’re just like any other family!

Thank you for bringing awareness…love hearing these stories! Ugh so beautiful! Love you Colton!!!

This was great! Thank you for information Colton and Dr.Kim! We need this! Proud of you and love watching your knowledge and faith grow! ❤

I am so happy for you and Jordan! You guys are such kind hearted souls and are gonna be the best dads! I have been following you for awhile now and you look genuinely happy Colton!

This is my favorite podcast. Colton is very talented and I can't wait for the next episodes.

Jordan is so in touch and in tune with everything. He and Colton seem like a great match

Jordan is a different story!

I know you guys will be together for life!

I love ❤️ this podcast!!
