Great topics

The hosts know what they are talking about when it comes to adoption and fostering.

Great content, terrible sound quality

I so wish the sound quality on this podcast was better! I honest can’t listen to a whole episode without getting too frustrated. But this topic is so important and I hope the creator continues to put out more episodes!

Great topics for those fostering and/or adopting

As a foster-adoptive parent, I enjoy listening to this podcast, which covers Very relevant topics for my family and me. I also love that it represents gay adoption as that reflects my experience as well. I think this podcast could be improved with more focused questioning of interviewees, and the sharing of stories in a more intentional and deliberate way. The topics addressed are so interesting, but sometimes the podcasts are not as focused and clear as they could be. I would like there to be more clear take-always or stories that really illustrate the topics. I realize the challenge is that there are often not clear answers to these challenges, but perhaps keeping the focus on stories could offer some clarity.
