After suffering a heartbreaking miscarriage last year, Trystan Reese and his husband, Biff Chaplow, are now the proud parents of a little boy, who they named Leo Murray.
Born on July 14, sweet little Leo is the apple of their fathers’ eyes, with the youngster being the first biological child the pair have had together (Trystan and Biff are already parents to two adopted children, a boy and a girl).
The happy couple welcomed their baby boy Leo into the world last month.

Trystan was born female, and despite starting hormone therapy 10 years ago, the 34-year-old stopped taking hormones and was able to conceive naturally.
The first time the couple conceived, Biff miscarried, making the couple cautious to try again.

But when they did decide to try again, Trystan fell pregnant, this time carrying Leo to full-term.
“The moment he was born was just like a pure moment of bliss, like the happiest moment of my life,” Biff told Fox19, according to the Daily Mail.
“I thought I was giving up having a family – I didn’t even think of it as an option,” Trystan explained to Buzzfeed.
“I didn’t ever dream of having, or wanting to have, a biological child. One, I didn’t think it would be possible, and two, it took a long time for me to be strong enough in my identity as a man to be able to do that.”
