Parents of planned adoption and surrogacy get rooms to bond with their babies. This is standard stuff. They don’t get 0 time with their infant until they get discharged.

That’s not what’s so funny about the picture.
I get that. I have even been in one such room before. There were no hospital beds. Just reclining chairs (which appear much more comfortable than a hospital bed to sit in with a newborn).
I don’t think anyone here would have found it cringy if they were sitting on a coach or in adjoining chairs.
It would be just as cringy if a hetero couple were posing together in a hospital bed with their adopted infants.

Every place is going to be different both based on their setup and what rooms they have available. Instead, y’all are making fun of two men sharing an intimate moment between their new children and themselves because it’s not what you’re used to.

For me it was the baby names. They maybe named them after their parents or grandparents, or simply liked the names but I couldn’t help wondering if Buttigieg focus grouped them because that’s how perceive him.

That’s what is so curious.
If you’re saying when kids are adopted they stay overnight with the adopted parents in a hospital room (and without the mom) that’s news to me. I didn’t know that was a thing.
Sure. I still think it would be weird to have a hospital bed in one of those rooms.
If there was a way to bet on it, I’d put my money on empty hospital room as the most like. And surf’s suggestion to be the least likely.
Also I think you can separate making fun of them from being curious about how the photo came to be. I’m like 95% doing the latter and I do feel bad about the other 5%.
Those rooms are very common for healthy nursery patients.
Agreed. I’m just saying that I haven’t seen a hospital bed in one of them. I guess some places might have them, but from a practicality standpoint it seems suboptimal. Anyone who needs a bed would be in a room with one. Comfy, reclining chair seems like a far superior option for that room.
Except if they want to spend the night with their new infant. Why you feel the need to comment on something you clearly don’t really know anything about is beyond me.

As I said, I’m curious about how they got the photo.
Without looking, I’m guessing hetero couples do this all the time.
Then ask questions instead of making assertions.
Which assertions are you taking issue with?
There’s more.
There is only one person making assertions here. And it’s pretty fucking rich actually when you think about it.
Please explain, be thorough.
I’m sure he came up with the combination of taking Jesus’s father’s and the first Roman emperor’s names all on his own
