I sit here today with a heavy heart. I have looked high and low, searched far and wide and yet I feel alone. No I am not lonely, I am excited about my life. However, when I scour the web looking for information and support related to adoption. I end up running into many women that blog about adoption, very few dads. In fact, I don’t think there is a blog out there, other than mine, where there is a man, a father, writing on his perspectives on adoption and family and things related to the high calling of biblical Manhood.
Plenty of blogging rings on womanhood, and a mother’s perspective on adoption and I have found some, albeit a few committed blogging dads. I still feel quite alone or unique in writing from my perspective on fatherhood. I hope it will benefit some other dads out there.
Now don’t hear me wrong, I ain’t a saint, I have my problems with being ‘over-committed’ aka addicted to working too long, surfing too much, playing soccer too much and just being forgetful. I work everyday on loving my wife and she loves me even when I am selfish.
I hope that many dads who may read this will be encouraged by my words and my experiences.
I hope it will encourage you to know that it helps us moms to read what you dads have to say. It is inspiring to see a man writing about parenting period. Keep it up. Maybe you’ll start a new trend.
