“Becoming Dads Overnight Changed Everything" Matthew & Ryan Mackinnon on Adoption, Guilt & the Reality No One Talks About!

“Becoming Dads Overnight Changed Everything" Matthew & Ryan Mackinnon on Adoption, Guilt & the Reality No One Talks About!

This week on Mum’s The Word, Kelsey Parker is joined by Matthew and Ryan Mackinnon, the couple behind the podcast Daddies Overnight, and their story is unlike anything we’ve heard before.


From building a life together online to suddenly becoming parents through adoption, Matthew and Ryan open up about what it really means to become dads overnight… and why nothing could have prepared them for it.


They share the honest reality of choosing adoption over surrogacy, the unexpected challenges that come with both, and the moment that completely changed their perspective on becoming parents.


From misconceptions about adoption to the emotional weight of the process, this is a side of parenthood that isn’t talked about enough.


Kelsey also dives into the emotional complexities of fostering and adoption, including the guilt, the gratitude, and the heartbreaking reality of taking a child from a foster family who loved them deeply.


Plus, the trio talk about life now as parents, from surprisingly perfect sleep routines (yes, really) to the moments that make it all worth it, and whether they’d ever do it all again.


Expect laughter, honesty, and a powerful reminder that there’s no “normal” path into parenthood.


Grab a cuppa, get comfy, and join Kelsey, Matthew and Ryan for this eye-opening episode of Mum’s The Word.
