Building Families in Ireland: Seamus’ Journey to Parenthood and Advocacy
Description
🎙️ After Seamus and his husband got married, they set out on a journey familiar to so many queer couples — figuring out how to build their family.
What began as a hopeful research project quickly became a crash course in the complexities of Irish law, parental rights, and the many barriers faced by LGBTQ+ parents. From comparing routes to parenthood to navigating the emotional and financial realities of family creation, Seamus’ story highlights both the challenges and the deep determination behind Queer family building in Ireland.
Today, Seamus joins us to share his family’s journey — the joy, the advocacy, and the ongoing fight for equality. As the Chair of Irish Gay Dads, he’s at the forefront of education, reform, and support for future parents navigating the same path.
