Welcome to The Daddy Diaries! We are glad you decided to stop by. Hopefully, you’ll visit this blog often and join us on our journey to Daddyhood.
For those who don’t know us…We are Juan and Darrow, residents of Maryland and “daddies” to three loveable, fun dogs - Mika, Milo and Rocky. We have just begun the adoption process (no, not a dog this time) and thought a blog would be a great way to share our adoption experiences with family, friends and others interested in the adoption process.
We’re excited about the opportunity to be fathers together. There’s a lot of love between us, and we want to share that love with a child in need. Hopefully, we won’t have to wait too long for Daddyhood to happen. In the meantime, feel free to explore The Daddy Diaries. Comments and questions are welcome!

Congratulations on your quest to become parents!!!! You are doing the right thing in going to classes together and learning more about parenthood. Although, do not be bashful in seeking advice from some of us old souls (and I use the term “old’ lightly :0)
We are looking forward to becoming grandparents again. We won’t tell Billy and Trey until its time for the adoption process because they will ask everyday, when is the baby coming?
Kevin, congratulations on your new job at John Hopkins. We have the name of a prominent doctor that we will send to you. He is a friend of the couple Frances did the major event for in May. They all went to Princeton together and at the reunion in May he complained of not having enough qualified Blacks at John Hopkins. We immediately had her send him your name, so he knows about you. We want to get his name right so we will have her send it to us in a email and share with you.
Take care and keep the blog info coming. We love you both.
Love,
Dad and Frances

I think it is great you and your partner are seeking to adopt and it appears Maryland does not have any issue with gays adopting. As a gay man I amvery supportive of gays/lesbians being allowed to adopt or be foster parents.
I will be addressing this issue in one of my blog entries soon.
