Doug Munster
Owner and COO Real Frozen Dads, Former President and Founder of Gift of Adoption Georgia
I have had the privilege of working with GWK for over 11 years, and during that time, I have become deeply passionate about its mission and the incredible impact this organization has had on the LGBTQ+ community.
I have witnessed firsthand how GWK helps individuals and couples achieve their dreams of becoming parents and building the families they have always hoped for. Being part of those journeys has been incredibly meaningful to me.
I am honored to have the opportunity to continue supporting GWK in a new capacity as a board member. I believe deeply in the work we do, the lives we touch, and the families we help create, and I look forward to contributing to the continued growth and success of this amazing organization.
- Children: 2
- Family-building journey: We adopted both boys from birth. We met Sawyer’s birth mother when she was 5 weeks pregnant and built a wonderful relationship with her and she is part of the family. We met Shep’s birth mother when she was 7 months pregnant. We keep in contact with her as well. We were gifted with two positive adoption experiences.
- Parenting advice: We have always told other future parents to take it one step at a time. We never say ‘if you will be parents.’ We say, ‘when you are parents.’ For many, the adoption process is long and complex, so I encourage those pursuing adoption to keep that desire to start your family and know it will happen. Never give up. As a mentor to gay couples looking to adopt, my number one goal is to assure them their journey will end in a forever family.
