But Where Are You Really From?: An Asian-American Struggle

75. Oh Baby Baby


Listen Later

No, neither of your podcast hosts is imminently about to have a baby!


...but, as we get older and move into different stages of life (i.e., getting married, friends having kids), it's certainly something we're thinking about. 


With that said, we have vastly different opinions on if we will have kids and for what reasons. Listen in as we discuss our different perspectives on the matter, as well as the various pressures we do or don't have to face (i.e., biological clock, continuing family legacy, parents getting older, etc.), how those are different coming from a straight vs. LGBTQ perspective, challenges that are often unspoken about in the "having kids" process whether that's via natural birth, adoption, IVF, surrogacy, or other... and a whole lot more!


Write us in with your opinion on the subject, or if you have a particular experience you want to share with our audience about your journey with having kids, wherever you are on that timeline and spectrum! Email us at [email protected]

*Podcasters' Note: A listener has brought to our attention that some of our remarks around adoption may have come off as insensitive to adoptees and their experience. This was certainly not our intent, and we will take time to educate ourselves more about the adoptee experience so that we can be more inclusive and sensitive towards these different stakeholders and perspectives in the future, especially given the number of Asian-American adoptees in the US (1 in 10 Koreans). If you're interested in learning more about the adoptee experience, you can check out the links below. We're grateful to the listener who brought this to our attention and shared these resources!
