We hear about a new model of parenthood, from two new dads, Rob and Ivan. They’re a married couple leading a growing family with the birth of their daughter, Pia. In just two years, these two fathers went from seriously thinking about having a kid to holding the result in their arms. It’s a fascinating account of the possibilities and problems facing more and more prospective parents. From inquiries on fertility to a hypothetical termination, these men have faced the biggest questions asked of adults conceiving a child—and all before a single embryo has been implanted. Of course, there’s lotsa laughs along the way, but also something more valuable. This episode is full of that elusive element: genuine, unabashed optimism. Feels good, man.
