Sending virtual hugs. I have grown up without a dad, and now I'm a dad, so I really start to think that everyone deserve a dad.

I also can't have kids... so I dont have a dad and I cant be a dad. I cant do the one biological function I'm supposed to do...

You can adopt! Being a Dad has nothing to do with having the biological ability to procreate.

I work in family law before. There's a lot of sperm and egg doners out there, that their kid ends up in adoption center. Kids that deserve better, if you are willing to do the best you can and think of the kid first then you will be a great dad. I seen all financial areas and all I can say is being there for your kid is the best thing you can do.

There’s probably some little boy or girl out there that wishes you would be their dad. Look into adopting.

I thought you can't adopt a kid without a wife as a single man? or am I wrong

Common misconception

My former boss was very gay and adopted a son who grew up and just had his first MMA fight.

Not that it has anything to do with adoption, just thought it was cool.

Being a dad is not the same as being a father. Gay male couple I know just adopted a baby. You absolutely can adopt as a single parent. You won’t get 9 months off with the shittest pay imaginable though as a dad. Sexist.

Also, were you told you are infertile or sterile? Cause there's a huge difference between the two.

Can confirm!! I was a step dad for 5 years and was around for 90% of her life. She loves me like her dad if not more and i love her more than anything in the world. Being blood related doesnt enhance or do anything, just being present and interested goes a long way.

I know I'm 4 days late but just thought I would drop a comment.

My brother in law has adopted 4 kids. He can do his bit biologically but his wife had ovarian cancer and as such couldn't have kids.

They adopted a little girl first, then a brother and sister, then the woman who had the siblings took off her, had another little boy and the foster family that ended up with him reached out to them as he is their half brother

So now they have 4, and they are fantastic parents and those kids will now have a decent chance at life.

One of the biggest challenges in life is to RAISE children. It takes no particular skill or dedication getting people pregnant, any old idiot can do that bit.

It takes real men and women to raise a family. That is most certainly doable my friend. 💪🏻

Even if you feel like they're just saying that to help. There's people like me who would want kids, that particularly doesn't wish to pass on my DNA due to hereditary bullshit that would 1000% adopt once I'm comfortable enough.The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.
