Craig said that this was a dream come true. When he was younger, he thought that being gay meant that he would never have children.
“I grew up knowing I liked boys, but then dealt with the fact that if I liked boys then I’ll never have a family,” he said. “So I thought maybe I should force myself to like girls to have a family.”
“And then I got used to the idea that it was never going to happen.”
