Shane Burcaw is about to become a father – and as that moment gets closer, he’s been honest about the thoughts and emotions that have come with it. Shane and Hannah Burcaw married in September 2020, and have shared their relationship with the world for years, often pushing back against assumptions about what life together as an interabled couple can look like. Now, as the couple prepare to welcome their first baby, they’ve shared a new update about this next chapter. It’s a small detail, but one that says a lot about how they’re approaching parenthood – and it may not be what you expect…

“It’s far from true. We have a satisfying intimate life, and both of us are interested in having children together down the road,” Hannah and Shane said.

“Disabled people can have s**,” Shane once shared.
“So much of parenting is not the physical stuff”

When they started their YouTube channel, Shane said that they couldn’t have imagined how much people would question their love for each other.

“We’re seen as asexual beings,” Shane said. Hannah asked whether it was another misconception that his ‘physical organs’ don’t work, which perhaps was behind people’s imagination that something wasn’t right between them.

“Well that,” Shane continued, “and they see my attraction, my ability to attract a parter as non-existent.”

Hannah also added: “And even if you did, it wouldn’t work. There’s no physical way – because we get a lot of like, ‘there’s no physical way that they could, so they’re lying.‘”
