Browsing back through all of my posts, I see that nearly every one of them has been written from the perspective of the adoptive mother. The only post that I have written on the unique issues related to adoptive fathering was this one about non-biological children carrying on the adoptive father's name.

It may be fine to write what you know, but, if you stick with that tenet then sooner or later you won't have much of anything left to write about. I could do a lot of tedious online research to locate articles on adoptive dads. Eventually, I will probably do that. Right now, I'd be more interested to hear from adoptive dads directly.

I'd like to hear a father's perspective on adoption and how it is the same or different from a mother's experience. If there are adoptive fathers reading who are also raising biological children I'm curious to know if there are any differences in your parenting.

My husband reads my blog. He is, how shall we say this, the strong, silent type. Ha. I cannot wait to see the deer in the headlights look on his face when he realizes that this post is, of course, also intended for him.
