Hello Yo'av,

You'll want to use subqueries for this[0].

from django.db.models import OuterRef, Subquery

children = 
Child.objects.filter(adult=OuterRef('pk')).order_by('dob').values('dob')

Adult.objects.annotate(
    oldest_son_dob=Subquery(children.filter(gender='M')[:1]),
    oldest_daughter_dob=Subquery(children.filter(gender='F')[:1]),
)

Note that I haven't tried the above code myself so it might required 
adjustments.

Cheers,
Simon
