Ellen DeGeneres shocked two gay dads with a generous gift on Monday’s episode of “The Ellen DeGenres Show.”

Rob and Reece Scheer from Darnestown, Md. shared their story of how they went from a family of two to welcoming four kids into their home.

The couple explained they had only wanted to adopt one child from the foster system but received a call for a brother and sister. Not wanting to separate the kids, they decided to adopt both.

Three months later, the Scheers received a call for a six-month-old and a two-year-old and the youngest kids became the new additions to the family.

The Scheers were honest that it wasn’t always easy raising kids from foster care.

“When the kids arrived, we knew that they came with baggage, from homes that just lacked love in general,” the couple told DeGeneres. “We had a child who was hoarding food in her bedroom because she was scared she wasn’t going to eat, a son who couldn’t talk or walk, another child that didn’t know what it was to hug.”

Despite the challenges, Rob says their children are their greatest joy.

“That’s what family’s about, you just make it work,” Rob says. “They don’t care that we’re white and we’re gay, they care that we love them. People say all the time that our kids won the lottery but we won the lottery.”

Rob says he was also a foster child and remembered having to put his belongings into a trash bag. Years later when his kids arrived at his home, Rob noticed they also carried trash bags filled with their belongings.

The Scheers decided to launch Comfort Cases, an initiative to provide luggage for foster kids. Inside, there would be a brand new pair of pajamas, a book, a blanket and a toothbrush. A GoFundMe has been launched to raise funds.

DeGeneres gifted the couple $10,000 and $40,000 worth of Samsonite luggage to aid their venture.

Comfort Cases is available in D.C., Maryland and Virginia but the Scheers aspire to reach the entire United States.
