ADOPTION DAY!!! Our Journey Through Our Unique Adoption As An LGBT Family In Texas 

It’s easy to think negatively when you didn’t grow up in a household with two dads, a lot of us didn’t. But look how many of us grew up in a house with a mom and dad and didn’t get the love, or attention we needed… I’m just happy there is a child out here that’s getting the love and care she needs 💖 Two parents that are willing to do anything for their baby girl! ❤❤❤

She actually looks like a perfect blend between the two of you; this had me crying happy tears congratulations on the adoption

What a lovely family. Every kid should have such loving parents as these.

I'm a single mother raising 2 teens alone and I'm proud to have both my kids , even if my children don't know what it's like to have a father , they know they have a amazing hard working mother and grandparents to love them . I enjoyed this video because it shows the true beauty of loving parents to they're child . The bond that this amazing beautiful family has is something only built by true love , congratulations on the adoption perfect family 👪 💜 keep up the amazing job guys

I wish all children had the love, support and happiness that Kenzie gets from these wonderful parents. 💜

This is what a family should look like. Full of love and understanding of each other🎉

Gosh, this one broke my heart. I can’t imagine what Kenzie went through in her young life. She is certainly a strong young lady but no child should ever have to suffer abuse. It’s evident that she is now very much loved and cared for and living a happy life. She has the most beautiful smile ever.❤

This was just a random pop up on my page. I am SO glad I watched this. Just so sweet, had me crying happy tears for you all 🤍. Love from Australia 🇦🇺

I only came across this video when I typed in adoption day. All I see are two loving parents and a child that needed a home. Two very loving individuals opened up their hearts and their home . Whether it be two women, two men, or a male and a female it doesn't matter. As long as the child is loved and nurtured. Clearly your daughter is such! From somebody who was adopted, thank you for giving her a home. Thank you for loving her.

I'm so sorry for the amount of hurt and pain your family must have gone through over the years and for that I'm so sorry 😔 I truly can't imagine. I'm happy that Kenzie is in a home where she gets to flourish and thrive and become the best version of herself in a loving and healthy environment ❤️ Like I said on y'all's insta posts CONGRATULATIONS 😁 🎉👏

I don't know how your video showed up in my feed, but what an absolute pleasure to watch your beautiful family at an incredible time in your lives.. Kenzie is one lucky girl to have two parents who adore her. Sending lots of love to you all from England. These wonderful memories you have all created together are so full of love they made this Daddies girl who no longer has her Dad cry happy tears. xxx

You can see what a beautiful well adjusted young lady she is because of the love and care she has received. What a blessed family...Congratulations!!!

I love how you love her! You are raising a smart, happy and confident young woman. Congrats on officially becoming a family, although it looks like you were always one from the beginning. Much love 💞

She is such a beautiful girl. You can tell how genuinely happy she is. Such a sweet family! Well done dads! ❤

The way ya'll mention her beauty then follow with how she's going to do amazing things and her organizational skills. THIS IS PARENTING RIGHT! I don't GAF the make up of what makes "parents" or "guardians" so long as the child is loved, shown what love means and has a life similar to what we see here.

OMG!! I'm in tears!! I'm so happy for you!! I'm happy that Kenzie was blessed to have such wonderful Dad's. I am happy I found you three on RU-vid. Your videos always brighten my day. Congratulations Holgate family! Much love and respect! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

So sorry for everything Kenzie went through. She’s so fortunate to have two parents that love her and support her. Thanks for sharing this wonderful part of your life with us.

I could not keep the tears away on this one!! Words can’t describe how touching & special it was to share in your day. She is one blessed young lady. You can feel the love radiate from the screen. Wishing you all a wonderful life. I’m here for as long as you’re making the videos Going through a rough patch & your joy and family brings me a sparkle. So thank you!!! 🌈💜🩷

OMG what an absolutely beautiful Video. Diddy, you have raised this little girl with sooo much love, as your own daughter. You can tell she absolutely loves you, as she does her biological dad. Together you have created a home so full of love and fun. This beautiful young lady feels very safe, and is able to express herself freely. Thank you for giving this child a safe loving home that is filled with fun, excitement and lots of love. From Jack and Family (all 9 of us, including 1 adopted and 3 foster kids) from Brisbane Queensland Australia.

Oooh girl! This was the most poignant & wonderfully real story that I’ve seen in a long time. It made me smile & laugh, made me cry, & in the end…gave me strength & hope. What an intimate glimpse into the lives of a fabulous family that was destined from the start. It was evident in the first few photos of Diddy with Kenzie as a little one, that you two would be inseparable. I could not be happier for your family, and for the happy milestone of Kenzies adoption! Y’all share so much love, laughter, personality, patience and fun! I’m thankful 🙏🏻 to have discovered your family. You have gained another cheerleader. Gooo Holgate Family!! 🙌🏻💜

What a lucky little girl! What lucky daddies! I want to live in a family with endless show tunes and everlasting love! 💞

My heart broke. I just left a long comment hoping and praying that Kenzie’s mama could get her life together and come back in as a supportive parent one day. It breaks my heart to know she’s passed.

Such a touching story and video. I found your family through our shared loved of Disney but I instantly felt a connection to your guys energy and love for one another. My family has had a hard few years and its been tuff to find the silver lining but I've been watching your channel every morning to put my in the best mood for the day. You all are an inspiration for other family's and parents out here. So glad I found your family to watch! ❤❤

I had no idea the process was so long. I thought she was already yours (like surrogacy)! I even thought you guys were adopting again 😭 This is the most wholesome video. You guys are amazing!!

I cried so many happy tears for y'all during this video! Congrats on becoming an "official" family.

This randomly showed up in my RU-vid feed this morning and it gave me all the feels! 😍😍😍 SO happy for Kenzie that she has such a beautiful home to grow up in and two amazing dads to be there for her! 😁

You guys are angels. Don't let anyone take away those beautiful spirits yall were given. I hope Kenzie n yall have the best, most amazing, adventure n fun filled future!

Hello BEAUTIFUL Holgate family! I am so sorry that Kenzie had to go through through so much at such a young age but how BLESSED she is to have 2 such wonderful involved Fathers. This warms my heart so very much. I started watching your videos a few months back when I booked my first Disney cruise. After awhile I just enjoyed watching you guys and absorbing all the positive vibes. My Dad passed away late July and watching your videos have definitely helped lift my spirits. I am extremely happy for your little family and send you all a great big hug in congratulations for this momentous occasion. HAPPY BELATED ADOPTION DAY!!!! XOXO

Just finished watching the adoption vlog and it was a tear jerker. You can tell that Kenzie is so loved by you both and she is so lucky to have you as her parents! She is one lucky girl! ❤❤

Not a dry eye in our household after watching this! This is an incredibly beautiful journey to see. Thank you for sharing and huge congratulations to your family ❤️

I happened upon your account as we are planning our first Disney cruise, but I have become obsessed with your videos! This one in particular had me in ugly tears. Your family is such a beautiful example of love❤❤❤

I cried like a baby when I realized she’s been singing songs with you since she was little! Stephen you are an amazing person, you and dad are doing a fantastic job raising a Queen we are so happy for you Kenzie you really did get you’re happy ending ❤❤❤❤❤ #weloveourholgatefamily

I am so happy for you all! It is so important for children to be in a home like you guys have for Kenzie! Go dads!

I sobbed and sobbed through the photo slide show!! You guys have the most fun filled, Loving , Joyful and real bond I’ve ever seen with a child and parent xoxooxox Truly your such a blessing to this beautiful little girl and it’s very clear how much she absolutely ADORES you and her daddy! It’s too cute 😆😆❤❤❤

Two of the most deserving and beautiful Dads ever! What a wonderful video! Much love and respect, I loved this video. There needs to be more people like your family in the world.

How sweet! It’s so clear how much love y’all have for one another. Congratulations!

So happy for Kenzi and Didi. The videos of her growing up was beautiful. Seriously, she has the best dads.

I just found y'all's channel, I'm so glad I did. This is such a sweet and loving video. Kenzie is a beautiful young lady. And I'm so happy that y'all have your happily ever after 💗

Congratulations!! This makes me sooo happy! I’ve been obsessing over the videos you have on IG from when she was a toddler. Thank you guys for posting this video!

I have just recently found your channel and have fallen in love with your family! This vlog was the most heart warming thing I have watched probably ever. I cried such happy tears watching this...thank you so much🥰.

No matter how much pain she had to experience through her biological mother. Angels sent another two angels to save her and provide the love, protection and affection she deserves. A COMPLETE NUCLEAR FAMILY. 💞💞💞💞💞

Adoption day...Kenzie was absolutely stunning. You guys are so fun all around.

Kenzie is growing up with the love and support of two people who love her wholeheartedly and are committed to this family unit. I wish every child could know so much love and witness such commitment. You all rock!

So happy that everyone in the comments is loving and supportive of you guys ❤️best wishes to you all

A child needs love and support. Your daughter is blessed. ❤❤❤

I just found your videos this past week. I was curious as to the dynamic of your family. You all seem so happy. It's great to see so much good come out of such tragic circumstances.

Yours and kenzies relationship is the absolute best. You’s have an amazing friendship which makes up for most of a relationship with a child in my opinion. The fact you’s can be so sarcastic, funny honest and open with eachother is amazing. She is so lucky to have you take care of her along with her bio dad. You’re absolutely fabulous. In All ways! Wish you guys nothing but love, luck and happiness!!!

I nearly cried when it got to the videos of her birthdays...i never knew one video could radiate so much love and positivity ❤

Congratulations on Adoption Day! Even though your 3 hearts have been bound all along, you now have the added security of legal bond, as well. It signifies that every day & in every way, you are a family! You guys are a gorgeous couple with a gorgeous daughter; even your dog is gorgeous! You're all so lucky to have one another. Your love for each other & your love for her have created such an amazing life together.

Sometimes God does for you, what you can’t do for yourself. The devotion this man has for Kenzie is full of Love.

I’ve always noticed Kenzie looking a lot like Daddy Bryan. I cried a little after Diddy said, I’m not gonna cry, I hate crying. So much love and happiness shining! I’m so touched by how you guys are to each other every day that I’ve watched the videos. I’m a silent subscriber and quite guilty of not commenting every time I watch. I’m thankful that I’ve found you guys and it brings me joy every time I see you guys! Many blessings to you and to yours! Happy, healthy, peaceful family life from me to yours! 🥰😘

I just found your channel. And I'm in love. This adoption process has me in tears. Your daughter is going to be JUST AN ABSOLUTELY AMAZING WOMAN!! I just can't say enough good things about ya'll. So beautiful!! Great job dads. 💜💜💜

Hi! New here. I’m so happy for all of you!!! Kenzie is a little princess!!! She’s growing up in a home with so much love and fun. I’m very sorry about her mama. That is terrible. On the other side now she will be growing up with 2 men with fashion sense. That’s Amazing in itself!!!💛💛💛💛💛

This was absolutely beautiful and thank you for sharing. I thought she was officially both of yours. This has to be my favorite video yet. So tender and loving. She is one lucky little girl to be blessed with to daddy’s who love her unconditionally. Your family is beautiful. Congratulations 🎉

So cute!! I teared up right along with you 😭 Congrats to all of you 💚

My first ever vlog to watch on your channel and I was hooked! 🤗 😊The throwback photos and videos are just precious. Congratulations on the adoption.

This video was filled with so much love. I am so happy for each you! Congratulations to you all! Thank you for sharing!

You are blooming hilarious!!! Kenzie is an absolute sweetheart, great job guys! Beautiful video, Congratulations.

What a beautiful story. You can tell how much love there is between all of you. The three of you are such a blessing to each other. Thank you for sharing your story.

Wow I teared up a few times during this video!!!!🥲💖 Congratulations to you and your beautiful family. You and Bryan are such amazing parents to Kenzi!! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Omg!! 😢 thank you for this ❤️🥰. You have no idea what this video has done for my life and those around me. Please pray for my family that my husband will be able to adopt my daughter (our daughter). 🙏🏼❤️.

Oh my gosh! What a beautiful family! I am adopted from South Korea so I love stories like this! Congrats! 🎉

Hello, I just found you about three weeks ago, and I have been loving watching your past videos… But this one For obvious reasons, really touched my heart. Looking forward to filling you whenever you post. Thank you for putting tears in my eyes and the smile in my face.

Such a beautiful tribute to your adoption day. The love in your family is fierce, as it should be. Congrats Holgate family.

I cried !!!! 😢 Such a wonderful family !!!!!

I was adopted by two gay dads in 2001 and I’m now 25 years old. I’ve played sports my whole life and served in the military. The most common misconception when you have two fathers is that they’re going to raise you to be feminine. This is not true. Two gay fathers at the end of the day are still men. It might be different with girls but as a man, in my experience, I had been raised to be a mans man. As i talk to my fathers today as an adult, they always seem to be blind to the fact that they are men just like any other man and that that being raised by two gay dads is no different than being raised by two straight ones.

You have a beautiful family and story, my partner and I were sobbing at the montage at the end

I just stumble across this video and so enjoyed watching all of the amazing clips of Kenzie growing up. She is a beautiful little girl and glows with happiness. You have done an amazing job Holgate family!

Не поняла ни одного слова,но столько позитива и добра от этой семьи,что досмотрела весь фильм!Люди,будьте счастливы и любимы!!!

What a lovely story, congratulations to the family ❤

What a heart warming video. I am so happy Kenzi is safe now and with 2 amazing, loving dads. You guys are doing an awesome job! You are a beautiful family!

I am so delighted to come across this special video. You all brought so much joy to my heart. Bless you all forever.

This was beautiful! I’m so glad I found you, you’re such a fun family. You can tell you all love each other and are definitely best friends too. My mom is my best friend and as much as people say your parents shouldn’t be your friends, I have to strongly disagree. Kenzie is going to be able to come to you with everything as she grows up and even when she’s an adult. She won’t be sneaking out doing things, because she has a home environment where she’s allowed to be herself and express herself. I’m pansexual and never had to come out of any closet, as my mom is a strong ally and I grew up seeing all kinds of people. She would ask if I liked any boys OR girls my entire life and always said she hoped I found a good husband or wife someday. When I got a girlfriend I just told her “mom I’m dating this really cute girl” and my sexuality was NEVER discussed. Because to her it really doesn’t matter at all. People ask me how I came out all the time, as I’ve been out since childhood, but I can’t answer that question and I’m actually grateful for it? Sorry for ranting, but you two just remind me of my mom and she’s a star, so it’s beautiful to see her grow up in such a beautiful environment. Thanks for sharing your story, earned another sub. 🥰❤️

You raise her for ten years, regardless of legal documentation, she is your child. God bless your family. 🙏❤

"I'm not crying your crying!!!" We said to each other! Y'all are the definition of love and family! Ya'll warm our hearts!

Tears of JOY!!!! for the 3 of you. A real family. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I am so glad Kenzie is now in a safe, non-abusive home

What a loving family ❤

I’ve never seen your videos before but this one popped up on my feed and omg I cried so much! Congratulations, you’re an adorable family! ❤

Just came across your channel! What a beautiful adoption story. This princess has two amazing dads who worships her entire world. Wishing your family all the beautiful blessings in the future. 🥰🥰

This is like the show “The Fosters” Where in the show... the kids were being raised by two moms. In your case It’s two dads❤ which is pretty awesome & cool. I’ve been waiting for something like this to happen. Your family is beautiful

You know what you two make the best parents I've ever seen so far on RU-vid or really in real life she is an adorable beautiful beautiful child growing up to be a beautiful woman you have raised her since she was a baby and I've been watching you guys since she was a baby your RU-vid videos are beautiful I hope you guys last forever and more in your marriage and more and watch her grow up to be a beautiful woman as she is a beautiful girl now you guys treat her so good but now you need a little brother or a little sister so work on that she's going to want a sibling but she's very well mannered very respected child I am very surprised your videos are absolutely wonderful cuz you guys tell it how it is you guys don't sugar coat anything and that's what she loves about both of you God put you in her future and now she's adopted and that is the most beautiful thing in the world

How am I JUST NOW SEEING THIS!? This little girl is so loved and it radiates out of her. She's going to have the best life that she deserves.

This was an awesome video had me crying the whole time tears of joy. I’m so happy for this child and for you both as her parents. I think you’re a better mom than most moms I’ve ever seen you’ve done a fantastic job kudos to you.

BEST FAMILY EVER💜❤️💙💛💚🧡 I’m so sorry Kenzie had to experience trauma regarding her bio mom, but I am so happy she has 2 loving parents who adore her. Anyone would be lucky to be adopted by Diddy!

Люблю смотреть на счастливых и красивых людей. Желаю вам здоровья, любви и МИРА !!! With love from Ukrain/

Thank you for this. Especially when people are so unknowledgeable about what makes a family. I have seen both ways being positive but also negative. I love the positivity in families. Because blood doesn't always make a family. A family is full of love, nurturing and kindness as well as teaching and belonging. I'm so happy for your family and am excited to see what's next.

This video diary just made me cry Happy Tears. I am so moved by the love you all share together since day 1 of your union. Kenzie is so lucky to have such loving parents!!! This is a teaching moment for all parents how to really love your children. Love and Laughter abundance!! Love and ALoha from the 5-0.
