Let’s Talk Adoption Podcast

Let's Talk Adoption Logo At the Lifetime Adoption Foundation, we are committed to supporting and educating those touched by adoption. That’s why we proudly sponsor Let’s Talk Adoption, a podcast designed to inform, inspire, and create a sense of community for anyone on the adoption journey.

Originally launched in 2003 as one of the first internet radio programs on adoption, Let’s Talk Adoption has long been a trusted resource, featuring expert insights, real-life adoption stories, and practical guidance.

The podcast was founded and originally hosted by Mardie Caldwell, C.O.A.P., a nationally recognized adoption expert and the founder of the Lifetime Adoption Foundation. Mardie’s vision was to create a space for open, honest conversations about adoption, offering education and support to birth parents, adoptive families, and adoptees.

Today, that legacy continues with hosts Heather Featherston and Kim King, who bring their extensive experience in adoption advocacy to every episode.

More Than Just Advice—Real Stories, Real Connection

By hearing directly from people who have navigated adoption, listeners gain a deeper understanding of its complexities while finding reassurance that they are not alone.

Whether you are considering adoption, are already in the process, or have lived adoption in some way, Let’s Talk Adoption creates a supportive space for learning, sharing, and connection. It’s a place where listeners can find practical guidance and emotional support, all while discovering the real-life impact of adoption.

Broadening Adoption Education

One of the core goals of Let’s Talk Adoption is to provide a comprehensive, modern education about adoption today. Too often, when women are considering their pregnancy options, adoption is either misunderstood or overlooked entirely.

This podcast helps bridge that gap by offering clear, accurate, and compassionate information about what adoption truly looks like—how it works, the choices available, and the experiences of those who have been through it.

By shedding light on modern adoption, Let’s Talk Adoption seeks to empower women with knowledge and help families better understand the realities of the adoption process.

A Mission That Changes Lives

As the sponsor of Let’s Talk Adoption, the Lifetime Adoption Foundation is committed to helping create brighter futures through adoption. Our nonprofit work includes providing scholarships for birth parents, funding adoption grants for children who are harder to place, and offering education to ensure adoption remains a viable and life-changing option.

By listening to Let’s Talk Adoption, you’re joining a community that believes in the power of adoption—a community dedicated to hope, education, and making a difference in the lives of children and families.
