  • 10/10 would recommend!

    Working with Rebecca and RG has been beyond helpful and now another resource in the form of a podcast - amazing!

    It took me awhile to listen, as I’m not a big podcast listener, but now that I have listened to a few episodes - I’m hooked! I’m now listening during post-adoption and it’s all great information, but also great to hear episodes and reminisce and remember how I too was feeling during the same moment or time.

  • Best pod for learning the process

    I’m a hopeful, single mother a few years out from actually adopting and wanted to acquaint myself with the various processes as well as all of the minute details. Becca and her guests offer precisely this in a well planned out and jovial yet realistic fashion. Thank you for your dedication to the collective adoption community.

Home Study: The First Step in Adoption, with Amy Imber
Q: What are some common myths or misconceptions about adoption?
Some myths include that you can't adopt if you have a serious medical condition, or that being a homeowner is a requirement. Neither is true.

Q: What exactly is a home study process, and why is it considered the first step in adoption?
The home study is always the first step in any adoption because no agency or attorney can actively work with a family until they are home study approved. It includes information about the family's background and helps to provide adoption education.
Balancing the Adoption Narrative, with Allison Olson
Q: How do you balance openness in adoption with parenting?
By fostering love and communication between both adoptive and birth families, ensuring that adoptive children feel valued and loved by everyone involved.
Balancing the Adoption Narrative, with Allison Olson
