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 />
