“On the day that I was approved to be his adoptive parent I went to the foster carer’s home for dinner. It was such an amazing feeling because I knew he was going to be mine.”
Becoming a parent is a massive life change for anyone but deciding to become a solo parent, and then going through the process of adoption alone, is not something anyone enters into lightly. For Leon, it was something he’d dreamed about since aged 18 when he first decided that solo adoption was going to be his journey. Two years after becoming the father to his son, now six, Leon talks to Frolo founder Zoë Desmond about the adoption process and how it feels being a single adoptive dad.
In this episode of the Frolo podcast, Leon talks to Zoë about:
● How he thought about adoption as a solo parent from age 18.
● The adoption process and how long it took to go from that first phone call to being matched with his son.
● Meeting his son for the first time on a slightly awkward visit to a soft play centre.
● How to talk to children about diversity, regardless of their race or background.
● Why honesty and openness around adoption is vital.
● How he came to write his debut children’s picture book - ‘You, Me and Lots and Lots of Love’
