An unusual Australian birth announcement has been doing the rounds on Twitter.

The piece, spotted in a Queensland paper, The Courier-Mail, announces the birth of a 19-year-old boy. But not all is as it seems.

The full text of the announcement reads:

"A retraction - Bogert

In 1995 we announced the arrival of our sprogget, Elizabeth Anne, as a daughter. He informs us that we were mistaken. Oops! Our bad. We would now like to present, our wonderful son- Kai Bogert.

Loving you is the easiest thing in the world. Tidy your room."

The reaction on social media has been very positive, with many people celebrating the family for the lovely way they chose to show acceptance of their son Kai.

@Frostyagnes on Twitter said "Best Birth Announcement ever. Today's CM. What a wonderful family".

@Stivette commented: "I think they're so brave. It's one thing to protest/speak out in a country like OZ - quite another in their situation".
