About Me

DI_Dad
Blog established 2005 - I'm a guy who learned a short time before I was to be married that my lifetime goal of becoming a father was slim if not impossible. But now due to medical science, a donor, and a couple of maxed out credit cards we have two beautiful kids. My name is Eric and I am a DI Dad.
