However, Thomas kept his reproductive organs at the prospect of having his own biological kids in the future. During his marriage with his first wife, Nancy, Thomas decided to give birth to their children due to Nancy's health problems.

Thomas embarked on the journey of artificial insemination so they could start a family. He gave birth to three healthy babies. He was the first pregnant man legally recognized by the United States government. Thomas said:

"I was simply a pregnant husband; something I would hope any man would do for his family, if his wife were unable to do so."

Unfortunately, their love didn't last long and Nancy and Thomas got divorced in 2012.

It took four years for them to finalize their marriage in the court battles. As a result, Thomas was awarded custody of his three children.

Thomas moved in with his children's school director, Amber, a mom of two. The new family had a lovely wedding, in Phoenix, Arizona, despite the challenges they faced.

Thomas and Amber welcomed a baby son together. The couple have four kids!

Thomas is a happy and proud father. Finally, he has a large family he always wanted. All his children are amazing, and none look any different than any other kids.
