SFN Dad to Dad 366 - James Burch Of Grand Cayman, A Lawyer & Single Father of Three Boys, Including One With Global Developmental Delays

  • Résumé

  • Our guest this week is James Burch, of Georgetown, Grand Cayman, who is a corporate law partner at Walkers, amateur boxer and single father of three young boys, including one with global developmental delays.

    James was born and raised in Chelton, England. After obtaining his educaiton and becoming a lawyer he has worked overseas in Hong Kong and Grand Cayman.

    James and his x-wife, Gemma, were married for 9 years before divorcing seven years ago and are the proud parents of three boys: Charlie (10), Harry (12) and Archie (14), who suffered brain damage at the time of his birth and who has global developmental delays.

    There were complications with Archie's birth that required he be medievacked to Miami for emergency surgery, so on a moments notice, James joined Archie on the flight to Miami and didn't return to Grand Cayman for three years.

    James' is one of those stories, that "in the blink of an eye" life as you know is over. It was a surreal experience and fortunately Archie is a miracle child.

    We also learn about James' interest in boxing, which is leading to his first professional fight in Columbia, in May at age 48.

    It's an inspiring story about a father's commitment to his children and overcoming adversity all on this week's episode SFN Dad to Dad Podcast.

    Special Fathers Network -
    SFN is a dad to dad mentoring program for fathers raising children with special needs. Many of the 800+ SFN Mentor Fathers, who are raising kids with special needs, have said: "I wish there was something like this when we first received our child's diagnosis. I felt so isolated. There was no one within my family, at work, at church or within my friend group who understood or could relate to what I was going through."

    SFN Mentor Fathers share their experiences with younger dads closer to the beginning of their journey raising a child with the same or similar special needs. The SFN Mentor Fathers do NOT offer legal or medical advice, that is what lawyers and doctors do. They simply share their experiences and how they have made the most of challenging situations.
