Embryo adoption created an extraordinary dynamic in Brian & Karen’s extended family— where baby Faith was actually conceived years before her teenage cousin Casey was even born! In this Season 5 finale of The Embryo Adoption Podcast, Casey shares excerpts from her award-winning essay about embryo adoption, while her aunt Karen opens up about the emotional journey through loss, faith, and ultimately welcoming Faith home. It’s a beautiful illustration of how embryo adoption not only grows families- it creates advocates for the tiniest lives, who need someone to speak up for them.
