On this episode we have on Ryan Parrish who may from his time in bands like Hopesfall or Celebrity.

Ryan is a dad to two daughters and they adopted and biological sisters.  Ryan shares the very emotional journey of going from never thinking he’d be a dad, to going through the adoption process, to becoming a dad, and then a couple years later getting the call that there was a sister on the way.  So this is his first hand experience of all the ups and downs and joy that comes with the adoption process.  And what an open adoption looks like, where you stay in contact with the biological parents.

We also talked about formula shortages in 2020, how kids force you to have perspective, how much being a dad means to him, getting laid off, finding more time to get an old band playing again.  

His band Celebrity played a reunion show at The End on April 10th which sold out…so if you’re listening to this I hope you made it to that show and congrats on the show Ryan!
