A male throuple in Canada is going viral for adopting a 3-year-old girl and publicly advocating for the normalization of polyamorous parenting.
Jonathan Bédard, Éric LeBlanc, and Justin Maheu, who have been in a relationship for years, say they hope their story will “raise awareness around our situation and multiple parenting.”
“The main thing is that there’s three times the love, three times the income, three times everything,” LeBlanc told reporters. “It’s a story made out of love. And as any other family who has a child, we put the child forward. She’s the most important part. And we’ll always make sure she has everything she needs.”
Some may argue that this story is a win because a vulnerable child was received into a forever home. But beneath the surface lies a much deeper concern: What happens when the definition of family becomes so fluid that a child’s needs are redefined around adult desires?
Children Deserve Stability — Not Social Experiments
The Christian worldview doesn’t stop at protecting a baby’s right to be born. It extends to protecting their right to be raised in a loving, stable home that reflects God’s design for family — one mother and one father, united in lifelong marriage.
That design isn’t arbitrary. Each parent provides something unique and irreplaceable — the tenderness of a mother, the strength and guidance of a father, both modeling the love of Christ in different ways.
A throuple relationship, by definition, cannot offer that clarity or stability. When three adults share romantic roles and parental authority, the structure of family becomes confusing and unstable, and children can grow up unsure of what love and commitment are meant to look like.

Adoption Should Serve the Child — Not Adult Fulfillment
Adoption is one of the most beautiful acts of love — but its purpose must always be to serve the child’s best interest, not the emotional or political goals of adults.
When society redefines family to accommodate every new relationship structure, children risk becoming part of an experiment in social acceptance, rather than being seen as souls entrusted by God to a mother and father’s care.
Redefining Family Has Consequences
Once society accepts family structures based solely on adult consent, there’s no clear boundary left to protect what’s best for children.
If three people can be recognized as parents, what prevents four — or more? Each step moves further away from the biblical foundation that has sustained strong families and healthy communities for generations.
The Pro-Life movement stands for the sanctity of every life — born and preborn — and that includes defending the sacred structure that helps those children flourish.
Truth and Love Go Hand in Hand
Pro-Lifers and Christians are called to respond to stories like this with truth spoken in love.
This does not mean affirming sin; it’s standing firm for what’s right, and protecting the children who depend on adults to defend their innocence and shape their understanding of love.
The world says “love is love,” but the Word of God shows us that real love is selfless, ordered, and rooted in truth.
Share this story with your friends and family to spread awareness for children still waiting for a forever home. As of August 31, more than 4,000 Texas children are waiting to be adopted, according to the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services. God may be calling you to open your heart and home. Will you answer His call and change a child’s life through adoption?
