Heartwarming Video Captures A Gay Couple Becoming Parents For The First Time

Becoming a parent is always special, no matter how many times you have a child.

For gay couples who have to go through different means to have a child, it can be especially special when they finally get the child they have been waiting for, as they might not have thought it would ever have happened for them.

Becoming a parent is one of the most magical things in the world.

People always talk about how there is nothing more incredible than seeing your baby for the first time.

It's something that is truly treasured by many. It's considered a miracle for a reason.

However, not everyone gets to be a parent for many reasons.

And I'm not talking about people who don't want to be parents.

Sometimes, the process to becoming a parent can be so incredibly difficult due to difficulties that people can give up.

Sometimes, however, it goes far beyond that.

A lot of people in the LGBT+ community want to be parents, but it's a lot harder for them to become parents for a number of reasons.

Whether it's due to state laws or not having the money it takes to adopt, it can be hard for people part of the community to find the happiness that they're searching for.

But luckily, that isn't the case for all of them.

The universe has to be kind sometimes, am I right?

Some couples do get blessed with having a beautiful baby thanks to adoption or surrogacy.

That was exactly what happened to the next couple we're going to talk about.

They got everything they wanted out of life thanks to their little girl, Charlotte.

Recently, an old video went viral once again thanks to *GMA* showing two dads, Aaron and Ben, seeing their daughter Charlotte for the first time.

For them, it was "the moment our lives became complete."

Ben has shared the video before on Instagram and loves documenting everything Charlotte gets up to.

"This was our way of celebrating Pride," Ben told *GMA*.

"Parenting is about love, and we have so much love to give."

"[Our birth mom] was 6 months pregnant when we were matched," Aaaron told another outlet, Gays With Kids.

"We were able to attend the gender reveal a week after being matched, and the room was filled with tears and love."

"[She] was so amazing to let us be a part of that. Treated us as if we were actually the biological fathers of our baby."

"As cheesy as it sounds, my life has been enriched," Ben said.

"We still are able to do everything we did in our old life - dinners, travel, movies, etc. - however, we have this beam of light who gives us purpose every day."

How sweet!

Now, Ben posts tons of videos and pictures about their family, but mostly just about Charlotte.

They are a gorgeous, happy family, and honestly, we could not be any happier for this family.

They totally deserve it.
