Gay Couple Deliver Triplets

Two gay fathers have each transmitted their genetic material to their children in a rare IVF pregnancy.


Justin Ruehs and his husband Adam Smeets, who live in Chicago, Illinois, became parents earlier this year. They had spent four years trying to start a family and finally welcomed triplets.

 But in an odd-defying IVF process, embryos from both Ruehs and Smeets were implanted successfully. This means their surrogate delivered not a traditional set of triplets, but twin girls and a baby boy.
