Adoption doesn't heal infertility. They are in fact a separate series of painful and beautiful, difficult and emotional moments that 1 in 8 couples have to work through as the plan for a family.
After Jesse and Doug were married, they immediately began to make plans for having the large family they had always wanted. But after five years of trying to conceive, they discovered that they each have serious infertility issues. Going through a variety of infertility treatments over several years, it became obvious, they were not going to be able to conceive a child.
For Jesse and Doug, their story of infertility led them to the journey of adoption. What they did not anticipate was the moments of trauma caused by infertility still came through as they navigated through the adoption process.
We begin hearing their story in this first part of their interview.

The Third Place Podcast is a weekly podcast that invites listeners into the hard conversations that we have a tendency to avoid.
We “go there” on things such as…
How anger is beautifulHow to find presence amidst chaosHow to have difficult conversationsHow to be an allyHow to live with grief
The Third Place is a safe place where curiosity is encouraged, differences are welcomed, and empathy is embraced through healthy dialogue.
We've forgotten how to talk to each other… Life has become polarized and dualistic - you’re either with me or against me. To embrace the complex human experience is to see the world through other’s eyes. The Third Place podcast helps with the disconnect. This looks like less conflict and tension and more like a peaceful existence with others. The Third Place podcast restores the art of dialogue.
