Could you be a daddy? Literally, the Fatherhood episode with dads Ed Center & Bobby Lee

Season 1, Ep. 15

On Father’s Day, we asked ourselves, “could we be dads?” So we invited two real-life gaysian dads to explore fatherhood. Ed Center (@villagewellparenting) and Bobby Lee (@leeland15) join us to chat about their path to fatherhood: when they knew they were ready, intergenerational family drama and trauma, lots of internal struggle, and how they made it all happen through adoption and surrogacy. We get real about a tragic loss Chris is going through, then wrap up with a hilarious game of “Dad or Daddy?” Be ready to cringe - you’re about to enter dad jokes galore!
