“I was surprised when he said, ‘I want another dad,'” Cohen explained. “I was like, ‘Isn’t that interesting that he knew that it would be another dad?’ and that he didn’t say, ‘I want a mom. I want you to get a mom.'”

“He knows that some kids have one dad, some kids have two dads, some kids have two moms. Some kids have a mom and a dad,” he continued. “He knows the whole spectrum.”
