@daddylifelondon · London, UK
A gay adoptive solo dad raising two neurodivergent children — honest about the hard days, and a recognised voice in the sector behind them. Creator, adoption committee chair, panel member and experienced speaker across SEND, adoption and LGBTQ+ family life.
👋About
I share the real, unfiltered side of raising children with additional needs — ADHD, Autism, FASD, SPD and PDA — as a solo, adoptive, gay dad who has also navigated my own late ADHD diagnosis. My community comes for the honesty and stays for the practical, been-there guidance.
Away from the feed I hold formal roles in the adoption sector and speak regularly to professionals — so I bring both lived experience and genuine authority. It's an intersection brands and organisations rarely reach authentically: male, LGBTQ+, adoptive and SEND-expert, all at once.

How I partner: I only work with brands and organisations I genuinely believe in, and everything I share stays honest and true to my voice — that's exactly why my community trusts it. My children's privacy is always protected — their faces are never shown — so partnerships are built around my story and expertise, not my kids.
Let's work together
