The Adoptive Dad

Perspectives on adoption and fatherhood from 4x adoptive dad.

959 miles from home. Waiting on a birth mom who could still change her mind, a NICU stay we can't predict, and no idea how long we'll be here.
This is our third adoption. First post is about the part nobody warns you about: https://t.co/vANiEbh34M

As a dad in the adoption process, you think you're gonna feel all this joy and excitement.

What happens when you don't?

Took a personality test once that flagged me as a perfectionist who needs to “know what to expect.”

Then I signed up for adoption. Which may be the least controllable thing a person can do.

My name is Jared and I’m here to talk about adoption. If you’re a dad to adopted kids, or you’re considering it, give me a follow and I’ll return the favor.
