Daddy, Papa and Me

An unconventional family in a conventional world, taking notes

AboutThisBlog

I (Trey) started writing Daddy, Papa and Me in February of 2002. That’s the dawn of civilization in ‘blog time’. I had a blog before then too called something like “My thoughts” and wrote about weekly starting in 1999. It’s lost to the interether now (though I have some of the old posts).

We started it to keep family informed about our adoption process and the addition of our dear daughter Emma to our family.

Since then this blog has morphed and expanded it’s view to include the parenting, travel, race, adoption, gardening, San Francisco, cooking, the politics of elections and gay rights, sustainable living and so much more. You’ll notice the theme changes as the years go by, but they always revolve around our family life.

Hopefully, you stick around maybe teach me a few things and learn a few things.

    I’ve enjoyed reading about your family. It’s inspirational and helps give me hope that one day I might have the opportunity to have a family of my own. Check out my blog. It’s new and is nowhere near as sophisticated as yours, but it’s a start. Thanks.

    Dear D,P, & M blog readers:
    Somehow I was directed to this site in conducting research about single fathers and their family life experiences. It appears to me that single-father households are excluded in the description of what a “family” (“unconventional family in a conventional world”) is in the modern world.
    Single-mother households and now, finally, gay & lesbian couples are receiving attention and much deserved acknowledgment a capable parents, but, men, as (single) parents are left out.
    Are there bloggers here who are single-fathers or raised in a single-father household? I’m interested in learning more of your experiences.

    Hey – I don’t want to leave my full name on this blog but I bet you’ll guess who I am when I say this: My ex-husband and I (an interracial couple) were in your MAPP class at ABW and I’ve checked out your blog periodically over the years. I was so happy to see you’ve picked up the process again. I’m on the east coast now, with my partner of 2.5 years, and we’re going through the process to become foster parents here. Would love to get back in touch with you but can’t find your e-mail address. Will you drop me a line? Thanks!

    I have written a story for children to understand how they were conceived using egg donation and surrogacy. I attach a pdf.

    I have no editor or sponsor and have published it on my own. I was wondering if you could help me promote my story by putting it up in your site..it is already available in Amazon. I have written other books related to infertility. One is my biography expressed with my paintings and two other children’s stories on egg donation and different forms of conception.

    I would greatly appreciate your support with my story “The Baby Kangaroo Treasure Hunt, a gay parenting story” and value any suggestions you might have in promoting it.

    Thanking you in advance,
    Best regards,
    Carmen
