Thomas Beatie was named the Pregnant Man after becoming the first transgender man to have a baby (in June of 2008). But now he’s making headlines again.
Thomas and his wife Nancy went on to welcome two more children; they are now parents to Susan, 2 1/2, Austin, 20 months, and Jensen, 7 months. But it’s not another baby broadcast that has people talking this time. The family is in severe debt , which has enforced them into ruin and has them living on food stamps. According to Celebrity Baby Scoop , “gossip says that the Beaties annual self-employment income dropped from over $300,000 in 2008 to negative $16,000 in 2010. The stock market crash smear out their funds and their T-shirt business futile, leading to their home in Bend, Oregon going into foreclosure. According to their bankruptcy papers, the Beaties are over $3 million in debt, which contains over $330,000 for credit cards and over $14,000 in medical expenses.”
However, Thomas expose that the family still has plans for a fourth child (despite the fact that they claim to only have $150 currently in their bank account.”
According to Thomas, It has been a very hard year. We never thought we would leave Bend. We intended on staying there and move up our children. But the children repeat me every day what’s key. They are our incentive to succeed and press on.”
He added, “We are staying positive and we’re gritty to make this a good family home. We’re both strong people and we’ve been through worse things in our lives. People might think this will have affected us and brought us down, but we refuse to let things beat us, and we don’t want anyone’s compassion.”
