In the very first episode of Dad, Actually, I share the story of what inspired me to finally take the leap into fatherhood. From feeling stuck without a plan to exploring surrogacy, adoption, and ultimately the foster system, I open up about the challenges, fears, and things that would turn my world upside down.

As a single gay man, the path to single parenthood wasn’t always clear. But the inspiration from my friends and community helped me move forward. This episode is about taking those first uncertain steps and facing doubts head-on.
