If you’ve ever considered adoption — or been overwhelmed by it — this is the episode you need.

Brian Rosenberg, founder of Gays With Kids and GWK Academy, joins us to debunk myths, share facts, and give insight into the adoption process, especially for LGBTQ+ families.

We talk about:

• The real barriers (and breakthroughs) in LGBTQ+ adoption

• Foster care, international, and domestic routes — and how they differ

• What birth parents are really like (spoiler: they're not scary)

• Why adoption doesn’t mean 'less than' — it just means different

Plus: Brian shares the emotional moment he knew his adopted son was 100% his.

Brian Rosenberg is the founder of GWK Academy Family Building, a non-profit spin off of the popular Gays With Kids website and virtual community he launched in 2014. Brian is very excited to share the news of GWK Academy’s upcoming expansion plans. Soon they will announce that they now support all paths to family-building for the entire LGBTQ+ community. visit GWKAcademy.org

We open up about our journey from performing on Broadway to raising a child in a world that often wasn’t designed for families like ours.

We talk about:

• Parenting as a two-dad family
• Feeling "othered" in mom-centric spaces
• Creating (and losing) a gay dads group
• Dealing with trolls, assumptions, and parenting pressure

This isn’t just a podcast about gay dads. It’s about parenting with intention, joy, and authenticity.
