Adoption is never just one thing. It’s joy and grief, questions and clarity, beginnings and lifelong journeys. On Perfectly Placed, host Kate Migues invites you into real conversations with the people who live it every day: birth parents, adoptees, and adoptive families.


As a teacher, a mom of two through adoption, and the founder of the Placed Adoption Education Foundation, Kate knows the power of story. She also knows how often those stories go unheard or get oversimplified.


This podcast changes that.


Each episode brings you honest, thoughtful, and sometimes hard conversations that reflect the full picture of adoption, not the highlight reel. These are the voices that deserve more space, more understanding, and more compassion.


Perfectly Placed will allow listeners to hear what adoption really looks like from the inside, understand the triad experience from every perspective, and be a part of reshaping how adoption is talked about in our communities.


Because in the honesty of real stories, we find the beauty of being perfectly placed.

    10 - The Miracle of Meredith
    Dec 16 2025

    In this episode, Ashley Bartels shares her remarkable journey through infertility, foster care, and the unexpected gift of adoption. Born with cerebral palsy and epilepsy, Ashley was told she’d never have children. Yet at 21, she fought to carry her first daughter, Shelby.

    Years later, after longing for another child, Ashley and her husband Michael opened their home to two young sisters through foster care. The joy, heartbreak, and eventual reunification reshaped their understanding of love and surrender.

    Just when they believed their fostering chapter had closed, a call came: a newborn baby girl who needed a family. Two days before Ashley’s 41st birthday, Meredith was placed in her arms—an answer to prayers she had nearly stopped praying.

    Her story is a powerful reminder that even in the hardest detours, God is writing something beautiful.
