Adoption Adventures

I've been speaking with Charlie and Ann-Marie who have a birth child and are going through the adoption process. I was able to ask them about their journey, some challenges that they think could come up and other great topics. They were both so happy to share their story and to talk about their experiences. I hope you find it super useful too!

It's day who knows what, we've had to step up and home school the little dude. How has that gone? What has worked and what has failed? What lessons have we learned from the whole experience? Find out on todays episode. 

Hey all! Thanks to the incredible talents of a listener called Liz, I am able to bring you an interview with Little Dude and a social worker, talking about what it is like to have 2 dads and other opinions from an adoptee. As always, you are more than welcome to bring your questions to us as a family to answer. Stay safe!

I'm reflecting on the first time that we met our Little Dude and how that felt. I talk through the process leading up to our first encounter...feels like a very long time back now, but the memory is as fresh as ever! :-)

Being in a same-sex relationship means that we are asked questions like 'how was the process for you being a gay couple?' and 'Did you find you were treated differently because you were gay?'. We know that many people regardless of their sexuality question whether they can be parents, in today's episode we look at our journey as 2 dads and how this has had an effect on our Little Dude.

I've been contacted by a listener, they have been told that they need to have someone assess their pets and identify if it would be safe for a child to live there with the dogs?? What would you do? How would you react? 

Well, in today's episode, we discuss this and I give some views on the matter. 

I have also discussed the topics of some up and coming episodes, I am asking for your feedback on what you would like to know about each of the subjects or any of them and I will guide the episode in that way.
