    Happy Holidays from Speaking of Adoption!

    We have a true gift for you in this episode—two amazing men, Elijah Johanson (son of our wonderful Yvonne) and Kelly DeHaan (a good friend), who come from contrasting life stories, sit down to discuss all the many ways adoption has affected and continues to affect their lives. Although adoption can be so similar in many ways, these two men prove that no two stories will ever be the same.

    From generational adoption differences to reactions from their birth families and everything in between, Kelly and Elijah truly embody the heartache, joy, and many varied emotions that come with having adoption as part of their life's tapestry.

    Please join us in giving them a huge THANK YOU for opening their hearts and being vulnerable so that we can all have a better understanding of what adoption looks like in a more profound way.

    Through the love, guidance, and support of our caring staff we advocate for expectant mothers seeking to give their unborn child a life and help them to connect with loving couples seeking to grow their family through adoption.

  • Yvonne's Christmas Message + Adoption Updates
    Dec 12 2025

    Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from Speaking of Adoption! Yvonne is our host today wishing us all a wonderful holiday season with a sweet message to all our adoption world friends!

    CALLING ALL FRIENDS OF ADOPTION!!

    Yvonne also updates us on a potentially harmful bill that will go before law makers next month.

    There is also a lot going on in the adoption world both nationally and here in our state of Utah regarding adoption laws, birth mother rights, and how these bills (if they pass) will negatively affect the adoption world in general and more specifically the negative impacts it will have on birth mothers and their children, as well as adoptive families.

    We need your help right now! In a few short weeks law makers will vote on this bill and if they do it could put many amazing agencies (including A Guardian Angel Adoptions) out of business. So many birth mothers rely on AGAA and their services to help them during a scary and often lonely time in their lives.

    Right now these women are given a choice to travel to any state they would like to spend their pregnancy as well as place their baby for adoption. This bill would prohibit this behavior, taking away the rights of a woman who is already in a vulnerable position.


    Visit law makers today to voice your opinion about this bill being voted on in January! Please click here to JOIN THE FIGHT!

  • Adoptee Markeeda
    Nov 25 2025

    Markeeda’s story is just as incredible as it is unique—being allowed visitation with her birth family until she was 11 years old. Today she talks us through how the trauma and pain of her childhood shaped the woman, wife, mother, and community advocate that she has become. Her example of resiliency will touch your hearts as it did ours.
