As an adoptee that was wading through the complex process of reunion and a foster turned adoptive mom walking through the challenges and of navigating open adoption, finding this podcast has been such a help and support on multiple levels. The Nelsons are compassionate and open interviewers who manage to hold space for all members of the adoption constellation and give a voice and a platform to varied views and experiences with love and compassion. You’ll be so glad you tuned in!!

The hosts are fun to listen to and the variety of interviews is interesting.
