National Adoption Week: Preparing to Welcome Home a Child...

What this episode covers

Welcome to episode 28 of the You Can Adopt Podcast. Worried your home isn’t “perfect”? Or that you’re not quite ready to adopt? You’re not alone. In this special episode for National Adoption Week 2025, adopters Emma and Mike share their real experiences of preparing (and feeling unprepared!) to welcome their two children home in January of this year. Hosted by their social worker, Cat, they unpack common misconceptions, share practical advice and remind us that readiness isn’t about perfection - it’s about openness, commitment and building connection over time. Whether you become a parent through birth, adoption, or another path, the journey is filled with the same hopes, fears, and questions - especially the pressure to get everything “just right”. But as every parent knows, there’s no such thing as perfect. #YouCanAdopt #Adoption
