As a single gay actor going from out of town job to out of town job, J. Paul Boehmer didn’t think having children was in the realm of possibility for him. Then he met his husband, bought a house and, after a fortuitous conversation, began looking for an egg donor and a surrogate. In this very special Fathers’ Day episode, Paul shares the fatigue of life on the road and the reality of 8-week friendships, how he grew his audiobook side hustle into a full-time gig, and how he and his husband found their way to parenting twin girls at the start of a global pandemic. Paul describes the prejudices they faced as a same-sex couple wanting to have children, how deeply they bonded with their surrogate, what his daughters think of his work, and why they outsourced potty training. This is an episode honoring all the amazing dads in the business- hats off to you and all you do.More on Paul:a few of his audiobook titles here:https://www.audiobooksnow.com/search/paul%20boehmer/For any additional questions about the episode please get in touch with us via DM @actlikeamotherpodcast
