A rose with two Dads

Carers *Jamie and Stephen recently welcomed a child into their family: baby Rose.

Jamie says that their road to becoming parents as a same-sex couple was ‘a bit of a unique one’.

Rose, who arrived in Jamie and Stephen’s care at 22 days old, has Down Syndrome and a range of medical diagnoses meaning she needs special care.

Rose spent her first weeks of life in an Intensive Care Unit. She couldn’t bottle feed and had to be tube-fed and be connected to a lot of medical equipment.

*Names have been changed to protect the identity of the people we help.
