even me, an outsider feel kinda angry and upset a boy had to go through all that just because of stupid laws and discrimination. i hope this kid grows up to be a great man one day and be the proof that gay parents are perfectly awesome as straight parents, maybe better ones, because they work harder, knowing the importance and fragility of their family due to outsiders' interference.
i think its great they got their son back, but also so funny to listen to them speak its like both understand each other, and yet speak a different language wow
I think it's funny how people don't understand bilingual countries - in Belgium most people speak 2 or 3 languages (Dutch, French, English, German).. -roel
ha! I'm well aware there are a lot of countries where they only speak 1 language, it seems a lot of people aren't aware there are countries where that's not the case though.. But we're such a tiny country, we're bound to pay attention to a lot of the 'outside world' - I imagine bigger countries are a lot more introspected
This is a fantastic tribute to the "adoption by gays" debate. When I see the love of Peter & Laurent for each other and their love for little Samuel, I just cried. It really touched me. How many kids today are not in happy family life situation; these guys have got it all together. Beautiful. I just hope now the media leave them to their privacy. God bless you guys and your little one(s).
+leonardoflorentin Does it matter? The important thing is that Tim is sending them his best wishes and positive energy. I join Tim in wishing them well. And fiy I'll pray to God the Father, God the Son, and to God the Holy Spirit.
Randy Watts Don't get me wrong i want to believe in god, i think we need it, but we need a god that sees with compassionate eye, who judge us for our souls not by with whom we mate. And we all know that the well known god, condemn gays to hell, only for been gay, so its just weird if you pray to that god about this issue.
Great to see these men provide a loving home to this boy. They make a nice family despite the opinions of so many people that are anti-gay. Nice to hear the Dutch and French as well.
Wow im so amazed with the sweet journey of this little cute angel nice to see that his in good hands at the end, growing up in his fathers love and caring.this the kind of documentaries should be in you tube most often.
I am sad because it is perfectly fine and legal for irresponsible teenagers to get knocked up and put up their kids for adoption yet gay couple in a lot of places still cannot adopt those poor children to start a family.
Lucky kid . He has two dads who love him. There are a lot of kids in this world that don't know what it is to have loving parents. Bonne chance à mes Amis.
that's a beautiful beautiful family, with two loving dads and a cute kid!!! It's sad to see what little samuel had to go through. Wish u all the best in the future!
It is like a fairytale. A little boy, reunited with his two, ever so good looking dads. I was touched by the sensitivity of the guys. I can only wish them happiness and a long life together. Love to you all.
Every child should be so lucky to be this loved and wanted, but no child should have to go through these hoops to be with their parents. We live in a crazy world but I am heartened that a small amount of sanity was returned when little Samuel was united with his dads in their own home.
I only read about this heart-breaking story before, a little while ago. I am so glad to see the video, I had wondered how you would all fare, how Samuel adapted to his new surroundings (so happy that he is happy!) and can only imagine the relief and joy of his dads. What an absolutely horrendous thing to go through! I wish the law in Belgium would change. My very best wishes to the whole family - do pamper and protect him just as much as is humanly possible, it will be very healing for everyone.
Samuel is so cute and happy. I just got to know about his story and I went from totally heartbroken to completely delighted! I can't even say how happy I am for this family. I wish them all the best and I'm sure Samuel will be fine and will become a wonderful man, just like his 2 dads...
This is one of the most heart-warming stories I've seen recently. Congrats to the daddies and Samuel. It's hard to believe that Belgium could be so backward.
I'm glad it had a happy ending after all... Two men with a child is SOOOO ADORABLE! It is SO FREAKING CUte to see how gentle two men can become when they are protecting their child... so happy ^ ^
thanks! it was important back then, because we think the attention this story got on tv and online, with people e-mailing government and press - and getting the story international and a lot of people phoning their Belgian embassy - certainly helped speeding up 'Foreign Affairs' making the decission to grant Samuel his Passport
Children are very adaptable. With the clear Love you guys are giving him he will become a brilliant young man and Very well balanced. I'm a South African ad have adopted a daughter when she 2 months young, turning 11 in Nov 2013. She is my whole life. Alone together we have faced the world and come out winners. I will make the same decision over and over. Young people need more role models like you guys. All the best and God bless.
Ths beautifull family its gone be allright because they have a lot of love that is the one and only protection for a happy live the little one will always take that with him for tha rest off his live . Bless this family I wish them whealth health and happiness
I remember reading about this when the story first broke into international news, it simply broke my heart. I couldn't understand why a government would intentionally separate loving fathers from their child. I thought for sure in Europe biology, as in The USA, would make the difference. I am so happy to finally see Samuel home and with his family. Thank you for uploading this, I need some good news for once! :)
Two very cute, hot, adorable dads; who both bring your hearts to this wonderful, sweet child. I'm so glad that Samuel is being raised by two very loving, caring, protective parents who will move heaven and earth to protect him. I see the true, honest love you both show for someone you hold dear; someone you'd go to the ends of the earth for. I see the anguish in your faces, & the anguish in your hearts, the tears in your eyes. Please take care of this wonderful child. I know he's in good hands.
They are really a role model parents. I salute you no matter what sex orientation of our parents are. people must respect them and not be criticized.They took back their son from the orphanage. Your son is so adorable, he's so cute. And I wish all the best for your son and dads .Hope I can see him again grown up with his loving parents . How I wanted to have a kid..I really wish.. God bless .
this kid , could not have more luck than with these guys ^^ i wish you all luck and love in this world especially for the times where it is going tough ^^ and please do not forget you are a couple and a familiy ^^
i think this guys they r just amazing parents who want to raise their kid at least good i wish one day to be strong n good as they are :)) gdluck wiz the sweet Samuel xxx
What an adorable, sweet little boy! And the dads look like they’re full-on ready to shower some much-needed love and affection on him. :-) Found it interesting, though, that I had little trouble understanding the voice-over presenter and the news anchor, and even Laurent in French … but as soon as Peter opened his mouth, all I could hear was a Frenchman speaking English with a German accent! Couldn’t make out more than perhaps half the words.
@depfox God bless them, finally Sam is reunited with there dads. And depfox... thanks you for showing the world that two man (or woman or single parent) can... raise a family. :-)
man orphanages sometimes scare the hell out of me. I am very happy for this couple who have their son back and would wish them only the best for their future:) damn the legal bodies and their policies and regulations. I would really want this kid to grow into a fine man just like his fathers:)
This is so tearful. 😭I can feel what these 2 dads went through, imagine being not able to take the newborn they had longed for, finding out baby had to be put to an orphanage that they could have taken him into their care but courts made it impossible for them. How heartbreaking it was for 2 years not been able to enjoy the baby. So glad they are happy now,.
What a beautiful family. Hope them live happily ever after. Good luck to little Samuel and his two loving dads. By the way, what language are they speaking? Belgian or French?
even me, an outsider feel kinda angry and upset a boy had to go through all that just because of stupid laws and discrimination. i hope this kid grows up to be a great man one day and be the proof that gay parents are perfectly awesome as straight parents, maybe better ones, because they work harder, knowing the importance and fragility of their family due to outsiders' interference.

Well try living your whole live in a country where they speak only 1 language and u ll see why. Nevertheless, I think it's great
ha! I'm well aware there are a lot of countries where they only speak 1 language, it seems a lot of people aren't aware there are countries where that's not the case though.. But we're such a tiny country, we're bound to pay attention to a lot of the 'outside world' - I imagine bigger countries are a lot more introspected

Wow, the dads are handsome and the little boy is so adorable! Thank you for this video. I hope things are better in Europe after a few years.
TWO AND ONE HALF YEARS of missed first moments gone FOREVER
beautiful. Hats off to the two dads for not giving up on Samuel...
Cute babe...just like his dads.. Hope they had a wonderful long life together. Will pray for the family.
Tim Kent Pray to whom? God? christ?
+leonardoflorentin Does it matter? The important thing is that Tim is sending them his best wishes and positive energy. I join Tim in wishing them well. And fiy I'll pray to God the Father, God the Son, and to God the Holy Spirit.

leonardoflorentin Hey friend that's what do judges our soul. the rest is man B.S.
This was adorable.
wow that 2 dads deserve that kid and build a super family .. wish them all the best !
Great to see these men provide a loving home to this boy. They make a nice family despite the opinions of so many people that are anti-gay. Nice to hear the Dutch and French as well.
Their story made me cry, it was sad for the child and for them at the beginning. I'm glad Sam is where he is supposed to be, with his dads.
Wow im so amazed with the sweet journey of this little cute angel nice to see that his in good hands at the end, growing up in his fathers love and caring.this the kind of documentaries should be in you tube most often.
I cried! Thank you for sharing. I love this little boys smiling face!! He will get so much love from this two parents.
I am sad because it is perfectly fine and legal for irresponsible teenagers to get knocked up and put up their kids for adoption yet gay couple in a lot of places still cannot adopt those poor children to start a family.
Also, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful family! Two wonderful fathers with such an adorable baby :)
The kid is so cute and the family is perfect.

Makes my day. Just LOVE this cute family! But Where is the cc button I can find on iPhone by the way
On my phone, I found the CC button when clicking on the 'three vertical dots' menu button in the right top corner -roel

This video is beautiful =) Agreed, the 2 fathers are very handsome =P i love the message of this video!
Heart warming!
What a great story.
How many kids out there in foster care would love a home like this. Loving parents is what it's all about no matter their sex.
@depfox God bless them, finally Sam is reunited with there dads. And depfox... thanks you for showing the world that two man (or woman or single parent) can... raise a family. :-)
man orphanages sometimes scare the hell out of me. I am very happy for this couple who have their son back and would wish them only the best for their future:) damn the legal bodies and their policies and regulations. I would really want this kid to grow into a fine man just like his fathers:)
I'm glad I can say he is!

Love you guys

Ces deux papas sont parfaits ! Bonne chance mon p'tit Samuel :-) Tu es bien accompagné !

omigosh, samuel is so cute... his eyes melt my heart, especially at 2:20
