Is Anybody Out There? Why I advertised for a dad

Available for over a year

Georgie Codd grew up in the UK with her mum and granny, both doting parents, but she always wondered what it would be like to have a dad. So one day she decided to advertise in newspapers and magazines for a father figure. Surely there would be men out there who had always longed to be fathers but thought they had missed their chance? Perhaps she could find these men? Georgie's numerous new pen pals uncover a tale of fathers, daughters and missing pieces. Georgie has written a book about her experiences called Never Had a Dad: Adventures in Fatherlessness. This is the second week of our series Is Anybody Out There? revealing the exceptional lengths people go to make connections with others.
