But there was just one problem: he was not, in fact, a woman.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhen he was swept off his feet by a handsome Australian man in New York City, Sean's dreams of marriage and parenthood suddenly became a reality. The only things standing in his way: outdated marriage laws, hundreds of thousands of dollars and a healthy dose of internalised homophobia. Though he had to battle intense family drama, depression and a difficult move to the other side of the world, he succeeded in becoming a father to boy-girl twins.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhat happens when the traditional parenting rules, 10,000 years in the making, simply don't apply?
