For Dads and Non-Birth Parents

Not all parents give birth.

Families come in all shapes and sizes. No two families are exactly alike, and no two birth stories are exactly alike. Many women become parents by giving birth, but other women do not. Many men become parents when their wives give birth, but that is not the only way to become a dad. No matter your path to parenthood, there are resources to help you become more comfortable, knowledgeable, and confidant in your new role. Below are some helpful resources for dads and others who became parents without actually giving birth.
