  • The best thing I ever did was find this podcast

    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 gen... more

  • Thanks from a one week dad

    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 wis... more

  • Topics are great but overall falls flat

    I want to love this podcast because of the topics but I find there isn’t enough substance in most episodes. The 45-50 minute episodes usually cover helpful info in 10-15 minutes and the rest is repetitive fluff or not helpful. And the conversations are bland otherwise. Good for this program for providing those who need it some important information. I just need something more.

  • Meeting me where I am

    I am so appreciative of your episode on how fostering and adopting can affect other children in the home. Not enough people are speaking up about this circumstance, and it’s one that hit home for me. Thank you!
