About Let’s Talk Adoption
Let’s Talk Adoption began in 2003, founded and originally hosted by Mardie Caldwell, an adoption expert and author. Mardie’s vision laid the foundation for open and honest conversations about adoption, and we’re excited to carry that legacy forward with a broader focus on all aspects of adoption today.
Now hosted by Heather Featherston and Kim King, Let’s Talk Adoption releases new episodes every week, bringing you real adoption stories, expert advice, and in-depth discussions on the adoption topics that matter most. From understanding the adoption home study process to navigating open adoption relationships, our podcast is designed to be your go-to adoption resource. Heather and Kim are passionate about sharing diverse perspectives and practical insights, drawing from years of experience in adoption advocacy and support.
Our episodes dive into a wide range of topics, including:
- Domestic and international adoption
- Adoption financing and grants
- The adoption home study process
- Adoptee search and reunion stories
- Adopting older children and sibling groups
- Transracial adoption and fostering inclusivity
- Foster care and adoption law
- Open adoption and healthy relationships
Let’s Talk Adoption is proudly sponsored by the Lifetime Adoption Foundation, a 501 (c)(3) charity dedicated to the development of healthy and fulfilling futures. Through its mission of adoption education, the Foundation provides scholarships for birth parents and adoption grants for children who are harder to place. By partnering with the Foundation, our goal is to inspire, inform, and support everyone in the adoption community while bringing attention to the life-changing impact of adoption.
Whether you’re just beginning to explore adoption, have experienced it firsthand, or want to learn more about its complexities, Let’s Talk Adoption is here to guide, educate, and provide insight into all aspects of the adoption journey.
