It's National Adoption Month!

Send us Fan MailAs ya'll probably know by now, Adoption changed our lives forever. Living on the other side of the process, I am able to recall all of the emotions that would rush through our bodies. It isn't for the faint of heart. But for the ones that are truly committed and damned determined to create their family, then strap in. It is a beautiful and scary journey, but in the end... it is magical. Douglas and I are forever grateful to our birthmothers that strapped in with us. It was a rollercoaster of feelings. Feelings that helped us grow, mature, and let go and let God. Each year for our Adoption show I search for inspiring stories that would allow our audience to experience the emotions told by these incredible humans. Gayswithkids.com is where I personally started writing. This platform allows dads from all over the world to connect, learn and grow their own confidence by seeing representation from other gay dads... like Douglas and I! Recently, I found a really inspiring article over on GWK and I had to talk to him.Meet Kevin. He lives in Los Angeles and he is a single dad. He went through the entire process as a single gay man. After 4 years of fostering his son, he was finally able to finalize recently and he wrote about it. I cannot IMAGINE how much grit it took to complete. I highly recommend you listen to this one. And you can follow his family at @therealdadoflosangeles.Then later we welcome back The Real Modern Dads! Doug and Brent Munster live in Atlanta, Ga. Doug runs non profit called "The Gift of Adoption"-Georgia Chapter and Brent works in business. Together for almost 20 years, they too went through the adoption process and are able to talk about their experiences after their 2 boys were born. Now almost a decade later, Doug and Brent open up about their journey. They also operate a social media account called @realmoderndads that is a hoot and a hollar! And to all the ones out there that are thinking of growing their family either through adoption or fostering, reach out to me if you need me. I am always here.
