My husband was kind of irritated that all questions about the adoption at the agency were funneled through me. This was a decision we made together and he fully participated. I think that's why he is such a good hands-on dad.
We got most of our pre-adoption info from our friends, 2 dads who adopted shortly before we did. One of the dads is the primary caregiver and he jokingly said, "I'm surprised I haven't started lactating!" He jokes about having a lot in common with moms, but he is, no doubt, a man. And along with his partner, an excellent dad.

Thank you for your input it is greatly appreciated. My Wife and I have been blessed with a two Father couple who has been helping us with aspects of the system. We did our classes together since we are doing foster Adopt but they already have a child and are helping us with aspects of the agency stuff.
