Specifically, his biological father, Todd Bachman, did not want to share his little girl with her stepdad, Todd Cendrosky. But as time passed, things became better, and the two dads learned that they were great parents.
In 2015, however, tension surrounded the family once again as Peck was getting married. The bride wanted both dads to walk her down the aisle but didn’t know how to tell Bachman.

Please share so that we can spread kindness throughout!”
