Dude, You Can Adopt: Real Talk from Dads Who Have Been There [Webinar]

June 18, 2026

A question for all the guys out there… Have you ever wondered, “Could I really do this? Could adoption be the next right step for our family?”

Questions about finances, timing, parenting, and whether you’re really ready are completely normal.

That’s why we’re excited about this conversation with four adoptive dads: JT Olson, Marty Schwieterman, Andy Whisenant, and Matthew Enoch. They’ll share about what the adoption process is really like from a dad’s perspective.

No sugarcoating. No perfect answers.

Just real stories, practical encouragement, and the reminder that you don’t have to have everything figured out to take the next step.
