Some great gay dads to be…

Posted: 10/8/08

Last week I had the thrilling privilege of speaking to a great bunch of guys  taking the Daddies & Papas 2 Be course at the 519 Community Centre in Toronto.  Chris Veldhoven had me come in last spring to speak with his class about my experience with surrogacy.  I was the resident surrogate on the panel then as I was last week.  I met some amazing guys - and found myself overwhelmed by their commitment to each other and to becoming parents.  It was a wonderful evening.  I got all teary-eyed watching them.

A couple of guys have started their own website: www.daddies2b.com  which gives information and a forum to gay dads and potential gay dads to share their experiences.  Check it out!
