demonstrate how co-parenting can work after Juliana<br />
and Josh's divorce.. We think it?s a blessing to be an<br />
example of the new normal. . We don?t hold the kids<br />
back from expressing their true opinions and sharing<br />
their experiences on the show. ?.<br />
With their huge hearts and their capacity to love<br />
without boundaries, this family truly embraces H.<br />
Jackson Brown Jr.?s words that ?sometimes the heart<br />
sees what is invisible to the eye.?Unfortunately,<br />
everyone does not share that same philosophy<br />
considering that their family dynamics consists of one<br />
mother and two fathers. Juliana recounted a recent<br />
painful situation regarding this matter. "People feel<br />
entitled to negatively express what a bad mother I am<br />
for allowing my kids to be in an environment where<br />
they have two openly gay dads. What people don?t<br />
understand is what a true blessing it?s turned out to<br />
be. One time all five of us went out to eat and the lady<br />
kept looking over to our table. Once we finished<br />
eating, Josh and Peter left with the kids and I went to<br />
the restroom. <strong>The</strong> lady asked me if they were my kids<br />
and I said yes. She then told me how I am committing<br />
just as big of a sin for allowing my kids to be around a<br />
gay environment. I know she had overheard the girls<br />
saying daddy and Papi to them. She was very<br />
interested in our conversation, apparently. She told<br />
me how God would punish them for their lifestyle<br />
and would punish me for being a bad mother. It<br />
wasn?t the first time, so I?ve grown thicker skin but it<br />
still makes me sad to see and hear so much ignorance.<br />
All she saw was two gay men and the woman who<br />
birthed the children and what a sinful, toxic situation<br />
we were in?.<br />
However, love is stronger than outside perceptions.<br />
Edgar Allan Poe, once said that, "we loved with a<br />
love that was more than love?. Juliana can attest to<br />
that statement. She went on to say that, ?our<br />
situation is definitely not traditional, the girls have<br />
two dads and one mom, but it is really because of the<br />
type of relationship that we share. We are a family<br />
unit through and through. Every time that I have<br />
gotten an ignorant comment, it only solidifies the<br />
decision that we made to be a family for our kids.<br />
Josh and Peter are amazing fathers and because of<br />
our dynamics they now have three parents who love<br />
and adore and would do anything for them. <strong>The</strong>y<br />
also have three sets of grandparents who love them<br />
and cherish them. <strong>The</strong>y have an army of people who<br />
support and encourage them. All I see here is an<br />
example of what great things can happen when you<br />
work together and put the kids first?. With love,<br />
anything is possible!<br />
