Married to a birthmother: a raw conversation about hardship and healing with my husband Casey McCloud, a kinship adoptive dad

What happens when two people who’ve experienced excessive childhood trauma fall in love and start a family? Here’s a peek behind the curtain of some of those highs and lows. It’s hard to articulate how proud I am of my husband. The intentional healing he’s done these past 14 months has been life changing.

I feel like the intro, transitions, and outro will get much better over time as we aim for a conversational vibe more than a polished production. As I mention in the closing I’m not yet sure of a release schedule or what future episodes will look like but once the recording stopped Casey said he really enjoyed it and may want to do these together moving forward.
