George Smitherman, who wants to become Toronto's Mayor, is becoming a Dad first.

The openly gay politician and his spouse, Christopher Poloso, are adopting a 14-month-old boy from Toronto.
They are expecting their son on February 26.
The two are in Vancouver for the Games and last night they were at a party at the Labatt Beer Institute where Mr. Smitherman could not hide his feelings, saying he has always wanted to be a father and describing himself as being “intensely thrilled.”
He says he knows, however, that although Toronto is progressive he and Mr. Poloso will receive some negative comments, a backlash from some corners, for their decision to adopt and bring up a child.
The little boy, who the couple has taken out on day trips in the first steps of getting to know him, has lived in foster care since he was born.
