In episode four of The Family Compass, we sit down with Mike and James to talk about their experiences as a same sex couple and their journey to becoming parents to their daughter, Ava.

In a wide-ranging conversation, Mike and James share their stories, individually and as a couple, from coming out, embracing their identity and the impact of the same sex marriage debate to the challenges of adoption and navigating the complexities of family life.

Mike and James remind us that family is what you make it and that sometimes, the things in life that are the hardest to achieve are also the most worthwhile.
