Acerca de esta escucha

 The show all about family; but with gay! Queer mom, Jaimie Kelton, humorously goes in-depth with weekly LGBTQIA+ guests about their families; how they made them, and how they show up in a world that wasn't necessarily designed for them. The mission is to normalize, elevate and celebrate, while confirming that we're just like other parents, trying not to yell at our kids when they still haven't put their shoes on and we're 25 minutes late for school. The end result is a compelling podcast that amusingly explores the age-old question: what's it like to live as an LGBTQ family in a world built for the straights?993506

  • The Donor Mix-Up That Made A Family

    The Donor Mix-Up That Made A Family
    Apr 21 2025
    Kim and Katie walk us through their ultra-intentional path to queer family building: from meeting online and moving in together lesbian-fast, to getting certified as foster parents just in case, to navigating a heartbreaking late miscarriage after IUI in a clinic, to finding success through home insemination—and thawing donor sperm under a boob.As we dive deeper, the episode unpacks the layered complexities of queer family building. The couple reflects on the fear and beauty of non-biological parenthood, the nuanced choice between known and anonymous sperm donors, and how a simple donor mix-up led to a deeper understanding of what really makes a family. With humor, heart, and radical honesty, Kim and Katie show us the power of queer intentionality, the importance of early and open conversations with their daughter, and the legal logistics we all have to consider—especially now.Through all the twists and turns, their story is a beautiful reminder: queer families are built with love, purpose, and a whole lot of intention.🏳️‍🌈 Thanks to our sponsor California Cryobank!Thinking of growing your queer family?
