After their twins turned 20, one couple had another baby, but it wasn’t to fill an empty nest DAVID TAFFET | Senior Staff Writertaffet@dallasvoice.com Mark Le Doux and Bryan Carr insist their new son Beau wasn’t their response to empty nest syndrome, and even though he was born this March, he wasn’t even a pandemic baby.
When the couple met, Carr already had two-year-old twin daughters. He was a single man who wanted children and 20 years ago, adoption agencies wouldn’t work with a single gay man unless he wanted to adopt special needs children or, possibly, older children in the foster system that were considered unadoptable.
