In this episode, we're joined by a brilliant same-sex couple who speak candidly about their journey to becoming dads, from the first steps in the adoption process, the highs and lows, what family life looks like for them now, and their love for their son.

They tell their story with equal parts of honesty and humour in a conversation that's funny, moving and refreshingly real.

In our latest episode Leigh is joined by Sarah, an adoptive mom of two who talks to us about her adoption experiences, right from the moment she decided to adopt to now being used as a bouncy castle by her two children.

Sarah paints an honest picture of the adoption process and parenting, full of ups and downs but the rewards endless.

In this episode, Leigh is joined by Miles, who you might know from season two of The Traitors. Miles and his husband adopted two children with Adoption Focus, and here he reflects thoughtfully and insightfully on his family’s journey to adoption. Among the areas covered are, his experience of the adoption process and family finding, support from family and elsewhere, the role of ethnicity, culture and identity in adoption, and parenting two daughters as a gay couple.
