At the Emmy Awards in September 2007, Harris and Burtka appeared as an openly acknowledged pair for the first time ever. In relationship Neil is a head-driven man, otherwise, David is a heart-driven man. They have been an example for many homosexual couples.
Spouses wanted to became biological parents so they used surrogate mother service and beautiful twins were born. An important point is that parents don’t know what twin is a biological child to them. They did it, because they wanted to love both children unconditionally. Judging on different children’s behavior, both fathers think that the boy is Neil Patrick’s son and the girl is a child of David Burtka.
