ADOPTING DADS CAN SUFFER FROM POSTPARTUM DEPRESSION OR POST-ADOPTION DEPRESSION

Posted by Manii | Apr 15, 2019 | Gay Parenting

Traditionally Postpartum Depression (PPD) also known as postnatal depression has been predominately associated with birth mothers. Right? The truth is that it’s a type of depressions that can actually affect either parent after a baby comes into their lives. It’s a well-documented problem affecting 1/10 women in the first year post giving birth. It is, however, a lesser known fact that it can also affect fathers and adopting parents. Also known as Post-Adoptive Depression, adopting dads don’t quite have similar physical experiences that affect birthmothers, but they can experience the same emotional and mental stresses known to come when a...

DISCIPLINING OUR KIDS

Posted by Manii | Apr 3, 2019 | Gay Parenting

Is there a right way of disciplining kids? How do you discipline your kids? Do you use the “timeout” or spanking option or do you remove privileges or do you use a star chart/reward system to discipline your kids?

DO WE NEED A “GAY DADS DAY”?

Posted by Manii | Mar 25, 2019 | Gay Parenting

March 1st, 2019, was the first time the term “Gay Dads Day” was used around the world, it seems. A day to celebrate families made up exclusively of two dads. To be more specific, gay dads who’ve chosen to be parents through adoption, surrogacy or fostering. As I’ve mentioned before in the blog, I’ve always wanted to be a dad, and I knew that it would happen one day, either as a single parent or with a partner. 2012 will forever be the year life as I knew it, changed! Firstly, my now husband, Darren, decided he wanted to...
