  Hey,
  
  I wanna get to know successful gay couples raising children, their experiences and challenges. Would be a good roll model for me.

  Yes, I know of at least one gay couple " raising" children
  ( not too sure about the "roll" model though)

  A good friend of mine growing up was raised by two moms, and she's an incredibly well-rounded woman now.
  
  To the OP, do you want to start a family of your own?

  I have a friend who is raising a little boy with her partner. I think it's too early to tell if they're good role models for him. One thing I do know is that they love to bits. I hope that is enough for him to grow up happy.
  
  If you really meant ROLL MODEL, I think they are both excellent - They both have tons of rolls around their waists.

  We have a couple of good friends who were married in MA a year ago. Not legal in Michigan...YET! They adoptive 4 children, all from the same mother. Ages at the time were 4 mos to 5 yrs Some of us had doubts as to raising 4 young kids. (this was from guys who had children) But a year or so later the children are well adjusted, happy and they just love Papa Gary and Papa Scott. We have nothing but praise for these 2 men who took it upon themselves to take on 4 kids at once. They didn't want the children to be raised apart.. Nothing but kudos for these 2 guys

  Looking for older gay people, who are more conservative, have good carreer, are able to maintain work-life balance, live in a relationship and have kids...so a roll model
  Wow...your family is completely awesome. Congratulations

  It's very exciting to hear stories likes this! I myself want to raise children later in life when I am financially stable, and when I've met all my needs. I'm hoping to find an amazing partner to live out this dream, but either way (with or without a partner) I intend on being a Dad. It's a life ambition!

  I used to teach martial arts to a lesbian couple back in the mid 90's.... They were awesome, one was a doctor at Stanford Medical (fairly famous too), and her partner was a larger woman who was a professor at UCSF, and what was great was they petitioned to adopt a baby boy whom they named Phoenix.
  
  I don't know the extent to how they raised their child but I am sure they did great... They were in their mid 40's with high profile careers and extremely educated so I am sure their child had a great upbringing.
