S3:E07 - @DadsTimeTwo | Webby Nominated LGBTQ+ Dad Juggernaut

Dom came through and brought it the whole time.. Thank you, Dom!

We’re talking surrogacy from the inside, what people don’t tell you, how a destination wedding sounds cute until you’re actually planning it, and what parenting really looks like day to day as a gay dad. It’s the kind of convo that feels like you’re sitting across from someone who’s already been through it and isn’t sugarcoating anything.

We also get into why being visible matters. Not in a performative way, but in a “somebody out there needs to see this” kind of way. Social media, family building, patience, all of it shows up here.

About the Podcast

Fathernetics
Dad Hero Stories
Fathernetics | Dad Hero Stories

Real stories from the men who chose fatherhood and everything it took to get there.

From adoption and fostering to IVF and surrogacy, Fathernetics explores the journeys behind modern dads, who they were before, what they faced, and who they became along the way. Centered on LGBTQ+ men, with occasional perspectives from women reflecting on their own fathers, these are honest, unfiltered conversations about identity, resilience, relationships, and the realities of building a family.

Because becoming a dad isn’t simple and it’s never one-size-fits-all.
