Two dads make Father's Day twice as nice in Shelton home with 9 children

By the Associated Press

It’s never Father’s Day at the Delgado-Santiago household in Shelton.
It’s more like Fathers’ Day.
That’s father times two.
Luis Santiago and his partner of 13 years, Miguel Delgado, have been foster parents to more than 70 children through the state Department of Children and Families. Three times, most recently in 2009, they have been voted the agency’s outstanding foster parents of the year.
They’ll spend their day this year with nine kids.
There are two adult adopted sons (Victor, 23, and Francisco, 21), another adopted son (Christian, 6) and four foster children (Rohan Brown, 20; Josem Calo, 17, and her 2-year-old, Jaden; and Anthony Donofrio, 15).
And then there are two of their own, 5-year-old twins Julian and Jennessa, fathered with an egg donor and carried by a surrogate: Delgado’s sister-in- law, Jessica.
