Creating a Family: Talk about Adoption & Foster Care

I really like how she bring people on from so many parts of the triads of adoption. I have learned about other adoption podcasters from this podcast some that even speak out and have views different then what this podcast focus is. I love the educators that come on here. I learn so much from this and have become even more educated on how to be a better parent to my baby. She is so important to me and I’m so grateful for what they do here.

When I was starting my adoption journey, I knew nothing and I didn’t really know how to begin. I came across the wonderful Creating a Family website and started listening to Dawn Davenport’s incredible podcasts. First of all, Dawn Davenport is a national treasure. She is also one of the best interviewers I’ve ever heard— and I work in non-fiction television! She patiently, lovingly asks every question you want the answers to and makes sure she gets all the information. She feels like she is gently holding your hand throughout the process. The guests are always knowledgable and engaged and interested in the welfare of everyone in the adoption triad and beyond. This podcast is an invaluable resource. Thank you for all you’ve done!

Found this podcast a few months ago. I LOVE it!!!! So helpful!!

My spouse gave birth to little girl last week after a four-five year fertility journey, culminating with a successful IVF transfer. Thank goodness for modern science, but also, a BIG thank you to the Creating A Family podcast. We discovered it during a time of exhaustion and little hope. We didn’t know what all of our options were. We didn’t know who we should be talking to. The podcast cut through the well-intended yet toxic positivity of our friends and family, and gave us sound, unbiased wisdom from medical professionals. The host, Dawn, is excellent at asking the experts the questions that I would want to ask. It gave us options, it gave us current research, it gave us hope. There is no certainty around pathways to fertility but knowing what to expect and what is possible can be uplifting just in of itself. What an incredible resource. Thank you! R, K and baby S
