Four gay men allow us into their intimate world of fatherhood.

This documentary gives the viewer full access to three families headed by gay fathers. Randy and Drew, a Canadian married couple, learn the ropes as they adopt a baby boy; Steve co-parents his daughters with two lesbian mothers; while Scott, on his own, becomes a surrogate father to twins.—Trevor Undi

The documentary Fatherhood Dreams invites people into the day-to-day lives of gay dads Scott, Steve, Randy and Drew, who are fathers through ADOPTION, CO-PARENTING and SURROGACY. Their private journey through fatherhood forces them to deal with much larger issues that affect gay fathers, including the legal aspects of surrogacy, the complexity of "open adoption", and the human rights battles concerning the official recognition of LGBT and multi-parent families. We'll stay with Steve and his co-parenting partners, lesbian mothers Coreen and Wendy while they are raising two children on an isolated island. We'll hear from a surrogate mother expecting Scott's twins. And we'll visit the house of adopted child's birth family that chose Randy and Drew, a gay family, to be the parents to baby Jack. This documentary film also gives the voice to children of gay parents - an outspoken four-year-old named Kizea and a teenager Jazz.
