"TWO DADS", which also drew an astonishingly-large number of viewers when it aired on Dutch television recently, covers a year in the life of two gay men, Ron and Aad, and their six foster children. The documentary, which also witnesses often challenging interaction with some of the childrens` birth parents, ultimately seeks to explain what motivates foster parents -- especialy gays and lesbians who have to fight for the privilege -- to take in children with troubled pasts. "Two Dads" will be screening at film festivals this year in North America, Australia, and across Europe.
