| 1/23/26 | EP 7: Introductions | In this episode, I share the experience of introducing my son to my family for the first time. After keeping my foster journey private for months, I finally made the call and surprised my parents with some life changing news. I discuss the FaceTime reveal, their first visit, and the reality of navigating family dynamics as a brand new parent. It’s an honest look at managing my expectations, sorting through emotions, and how first introductions don’t always unfold the way you imagine. | — | ||||||
| 1/14/26 | EP 6: Gotcha Day | In this episode, I’m finally sharing Gotcha Day! The day I got the call, met my son, and stepped into fatherhood. After months of preparation and waiting, everything changed with a single phone call.I talk about the anticipation, the nerves, and the overwhelming mix of fear and love that came with bringing him home for the first time. It’s a deeply emotional day, one I still hold close and the reason Gotcha Day is the day we celebrate as our family anniversary. | — | ||||||
| 1/1/26 | EP 5: Happy New Year | In this mini episode I’m popping in to say hello, thank you for sticking around, and to catch you up on where we’ve been since the last episode dropped. Amongst a busy holiday season filled with long workdays, neighborhood events, travel, home projects, and a little creative chaos, I took a pause to refocus on our everyday life.This episode isn’t a continuation of the journey just yet. It’s a check-in, a reset, and a reminder that sometimes stepping back is part of moving forward. New episodes are coming soon! I’m excited to be back! Happy New Year and welcome to 2026! | — | ||||||
| 10/1/25 | EP 4: The Fun Stuff | In this episode I take a break from the paperwork and licensing talk to share the fun side of preparing for parenthood—designing and decorating the nursery. From picking bold paint colors and assembling furniture (that may or may not have fit through the door), to shopping for baby clothes, I relive some of the excitement of getting ready for a child I hadn’t even met yet. I also open up about the challenge of keeping it all a secret from my family and why that part of the journey was so personal to me. | — | ||||||
| 9/22/25 | EP 3: Licensing | In this episode I share what it was like to go through the certification process to become a licensed foster parent in Arizona. From training classes and awkward role-playing exercises to home inspections, endless paperwork, and even a deep dive into my childhood, I walk you through the steps I had to complete and the emotions that came with them. It wasn’t always easy, but it was the moment I truly started to feel ready to welcome a child into my home. | — | ||||||
| 9/10/25 | EP 2: Beginning | In this episode, I share what it was really like to take the very first steps toward becoming a foster parent—from nervously logging into orientation with pen and paper in hand (and forgetting to take a single note), to anxiously deep-cleaning my house before the first home visit. Along the way, I discovered surprising facts about the foster care system in Arizona and learned that getting started wasn't as scary as it seemed.www.childcrisisaz.org | — | ||||||
| 9/2/25 | EP 1: Inspiration | 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. | — | ||||||
| 8/10/25 | Trailer: Welcome to Dad, Actually | Ever thought about becoming a parent but had no idea where to start? I’ve been there.
