1. That was really nice. Some good news shared during a very tough period.

[SoonerPride]

2. Yes. It was so unexpected and sweet

And his explanation of the name was very touching.

We need good news desperately right now

6. Precious pictures.

I hope they have a long time together, happy and healthy.

14. Wow. Wyatt was his father's name.

His good friend, Andy Cohen, had a baby last year, I think. So happy for him.

[smirkymonkey]

17. Awww! Just lovely!

I'm so happy for him!

[crickets]

24. Aw, how wonderful. Congratulations to him and his son. nt

7. Wonderful! nt

[Upthevibe]

8. I'm sooooo happy for Anderson....

I know that he'll be a wonderful father!

[Trueblue Texan]

9. That baby looks just like him!

[Silver Gaia]

10. Such sweet news amongst all the sad news.

Brought tears to my eyes.

[liberalla]

11. Wonderful news!

[whistler162]

12. Well I hjope he told his husband

and maybe the mother of the child!

To bad, his mother passed away last year.

[Laffy Kat]

15. Um, how would the mother of baby not know? nt

[whistler162]

19. From the OP - "He hadn't told anyone "

[LisaL]

21. Biological mother would presumably be an egg donor.

So she would not necessarily know. Anderson used a surrogate, so surrogate would obviously know.

[LisaL]

20. He doesn't have a husband.

[Maru Kitteh]

13. That was SUCH a beautiful moment. He's going to be a great dad.

[IndyOp]

16. Ahhhhhh!! Love this! Anderson idolizes his Dad and said

He didn’t want to be a Dad until he could do fatherhood the way his father did it.

That baby’s one lucky stinker!

[no_hypocrisy]

18. Anderson's baby was named after his father and his maternal grandmother (maiden name, Morgan).

[leftyladyfrommo]

22. I just love him. nt
