Made with Pride 2013

Filmmaker Tammy Jones follows her brother Martin and his partner of 10 years Maxim in their journey to become parents. Maxim, 36, grew up in Russia and Martin, 41, grew up in a small northern Ontario town. They now live in Ottawa. Martin and Maxim have succeeded against all the odds. They welcomed Sasha and Lucas home in January 2012 after years of research, planning, surgery, waiting, expenses, and miscarriages. These brave young men set off on a road less traveled. They are paving the road for other gay couples and LGBTQ people as our society changes and our laws rush to catch up with societal changes.
