This week Attempting Fatherhood is Nick Runyon. He's a former pilot, turned founder of The Archibald Project, an orphan and adoption advocacy group that focuses on the media side of information, creating stories, videos, etc. which help bring awareness to adoption and the orphan crisis.
When we were thinking of adoption, we watched one of their mini-docs which profiled a birth mom and adoptive family at the hospital over a 48-hour period and it was profound.
We talked about how "brutal" he and his wife's infertility was, how hard it can be when you are placed with three kids who don't speak your language, and the universal truth of struggling to get our kids to sleep!
Follow Archibald Project for more.
And the account I reference in the opening is Big Little Feelings. Of course you can be following us on Instagram and NOW NOW NOW on YouTube as well. Yes, these fathers have agreed to have their beautifully tired dad faces showing while talking about life. These un-cut, un-edited videos are a great way to reach even more fathers and spread the love.
Make sure you are subscribing to our social accounts and this podcast here and more importantly, take a second and SHARE THE SHOW. That's the only way we grow this and keep reaching more dads.
Thank you for your support and get ready for a great new season of Attempting Fatherhood!
