My friend Laurie and I talk about the difficulty for gay and lesbian couples to make and/or adopt kids. It's not exclusive to LGBTQ because unmarried women also struggle. Laurie shares her personal journey, from her partner's pregnancy to the adoption of her own daughter. She has an interesting vision of why things are so complicated for same-sex couples and single women in France.  

This episode is a mix of interview and explanations that I added to provide context and adapt the content to French learners.
