Two Moms

Although more and more states and countries are allowing same-sex adoption, the battle for equality in both the marriage and adoption worlds has a long way to go. “Two Moms” is an excellent documentary about lesbian couple Suzanne Du Toit and Anna-Mari De Vos and their struggle to adopt children. The women are an outgoing, dynamic couple from South Africa whose fight to adopt children is legendary – changing the landscape for same-sex couples across the world who also sought to create and build their own families through adoption. This documentary does a wonderful job of telling their story, and is impactful for anyone who has ever wanted a family – or just to be treated like everyone else.
