All these years later and I still get emotional when talking about the adoption of my son, Anthony Mutabazi.. About 8 years ago, I got a phone call regarding a little boy who needed to be watched over the weekend. I was hesitant, it was my early years of fostering and I was learning how to get over my fear of attachment but then I quickly said yes. I find out he was abandoned at the hospital by his previous adoptive parents.. it was heart wrenching to see the pain he was going through. The first day he came to me.. we instantly had a father/ son connection. • • #nowiamknown #dadlife #singledad #adoption #fyp #familylove #rescue #parents #mystory
In honor of National Foster Care Month, I decided to share a bit more about my story. What I journeyed through and how I was blessed to find my dad. My story proves that fostering DOES save lives! • • #mystory #parenthood #awareness #fostercare #family #dadandson #rescued #fyp #viral #nowiamknown #singledad
How do I do my white daughter's hair as a single black dad? Surprisingly, I get a lot of negative comments indicating I do not know how to take care of my white children. That is false, everyday l'm learning new ways to embrace my white children's culture whether it comes to hair, certain foods and much more. As a village, let's learn how to uplift one and another instead of spreading hate. • • #blackdad #daughters #fyp #parentsoftiktok #singledad #hairstyle #mixedfamily
And it's all thanks to the amazing moms out there for teaching me with their tutorials or with advice ❤️ • • #dadlife #singledad #dadlove #trending #fyp #biggestflex #daughter #hairstyles #family #dadsoftiktok

I can't believe my little boy is 19 now. Where did the time go? 💔 Currently very emotional writing this because I remember the night Anthony first came to me. I told him he can call me Mister Peter and the first thing he asked was "can I call you dad?" From there, we connected instantly. No words can describe how l've been so proud of him. So happy and supportive of him. How great he's been with the kids especially the foster placements we get. I love you so much son. • • #nowiamknown #dadlife #dadandson #adoption #birthday #singledad #dadlove #family
Our dad might be the coolest but he comes with rules! 🫣 • • #dadlife #singledad #relatable #funny #fyp #blackdad #familylove #jokes #parents #nowiamknown
I get way too many comments like these.. Foster care is not where I can go in a room and pick out the child that I like to foster. I have fostered multiple kids of color, they just get lucky enough to reunite with their family. Please ask before assuming. Educating about foster care is my passion. ❤️ • • #dadlife #fosterdad #nowiamknown #adoption #awareness #trending #fyp #blackdad #fostercare
Earlier this year, my son and I attended my youngest brother's wedding in Uganda. It was a blessing for him to finally meet my family in Africa and a joy for us to do the things I did growing up. It was a joy to show him where I grew up and my culture. Everyone was so happy to finally meet him and of course, he melted their hearts He fitted in so quick, I was shocked! That's not really common in African culture. It was a joy to have him by my side but here's the most important question.... Who rocks it better in a suit? ❤️ #singledad #dadlife #blackdad #uganda #familylove #dadandson #fyp #trending #parents

I’m telling you, as single dad when daycare is closed it’s like taking care of 100 sheep! #daycare #singlemom #singleparent #singledadlife #parents #onthisday
It's Foster Care Month! While I love advocating for kids in care, I also want to share the honest truth. Fostering means loving kids with trauma, and that's not always easy. Their pain isn't their fault. I signed up for the good and the hard, and I'd do it again. This month, show grace to our teens. Don't define them by their behavior. Look deeper-there's always a story behind it. • #fostercaremonth #fosterdad #adoption #singledad #dadlife #funny #fyp #parenthood #parents #comedy #relatable #humor #dadjokes
Blessed to be a dad to these amazing kids, I know we don’t match but we are truly a family that loves each other! #family #loveyou #adoptme #foster #singledad #blackandwhite #onthisday
