Customer Reviews
Great topics for those fostering and/or adopting
As a foster-adoptive parent, I enjoy listening to this podcast, which covers
Very relevant topics for my family and me. I also love that it represents gay adoption as that reflects my experience as well. I think this podcast could be improved with more focused questioning of interviewees, and the sharing of stories in a more intentional and deliberate way. The topics addressed are so interesting, but sometimes the podcasts are not as focused and clear as they could be. I would like there to be more clear take-always or stories that really illustrate the topics. I realize the challenge is that there are often not clear answers to these challenges, but perhaps keeping the focus on stories could offer some clarity.
Great
Very important topic. Tons of incredible information.
Great topics
The hosts know what they are talking about when it comes to adoption and fostering.
