In todays episode I chat to David Watkins AKA @the_dadness. David is a solo dad by choice to his son Miles who he conceived using an egg donor and a surrogate. I was really excited to chat to him to hear his perspective of embarking on the journey to solo parenthood as a single man. In this episode we cover: - The experience of seeing other people with their children and the feelings that brings about - Exploring adoption as a single man - Considering co-parenting with a friend and the complications surrounding that decision - What wanting to be a dad really means - How the surrogacy process works in the UK - The barriers to becoming a solo dad by choice - Choosing an egg donor - The experience of parenting solo - Why it can be challenging to admit parenting is tough when you have gone through such a process to get there - Why David created Dad. Be to support other men in similar situations and much more! You can connect with David on his Instagram account @the_dadness
