Men that choose to become Dads on their own are fulfilling a life long dream by creating their family their way.

 

The Solo Dad Dream is a unique parental experience, rooted in the desire of a man to become a father without the need to share the parental role with another.

Too frequently these desires are not often heard about or realised. Current support resources for solo Dads, online and on social media, have been geared towards helping existing solo Dads navigate the fatherly changes resulting when a close parental partnership ends. As such, the 'mainstream' single Dad narrative often starts with a man coming to terms with separation or negotiating parenting with someone they were once close to. Crucially these fathers did *not* seek to become single Dads before their children were born.   

 

Dad. Be reflects a different path to parenthood. This resource is about recognising and inspiring men who choose to be single 'solo' Dads, *before* they have become fathers. This site examines the paths to parenthood for UK men who are going it alone from the outset - who wish to make their Dad Dream a reality. At the same time, our ethos is to connect all single Dads, no matter how they got there. This is because being a single Dad, in any form, is an lived experience for many men in the UK that we at Dad. Be would like to support.
