Thank you for telling your story.

I'm glad Janet turned out okay!

Thanks, Jerry. George adopted Brandon. They have had three more children of their own: Connor, Brooklynn, and Sean. He is the baby I am holding back in 2006.

I can't help but think that your willingness to put your love for Janet ahead of making judgements about her choices is one of the reasons you, as an out and proud gay man, now have such a good relationship with your daughter and grandchildren. Sometimes an open mind and heart is a good thing, no matter your fears.

As you've guessed, I'm only just tuning in on this and the previous post. I don't think I can put it better than Neil has.
