apAs part of a same-sex couple looking to adopt, POPSUGAR's VP of Business Development, Joe LaFalce, was understandably nervous. The endless forms, interviews, and probing questions on his (and his partner's, also Joe) future parenting and discipline styles were difficult to navigate. pbr pWhen the Joes first met Margot, however, those hardships gave way to an intense desire to be "parent, protector, and fierce Papa Beara." Now they both parent this precocious 2-year-old, so grateful for the process that brought this intensely happy family together.
