With everyone having a podcast there is just so many options however not everyone has the niche for it. Out of probably a hundred different shows I've tried Ty and Kate are 1 of 3 go to listens for me.

I honestly wish they were robots so I could tune in and listen all the time.

I don't really have any connection to adoption besides I was a surrogate for a single indented mother and in Florida where we both live they basically handle it like an adoption even in our case where it was her egg and donor sp**m.
Carrying a child, caring for, loving ,not the one raising that child and watching them grow from afar comes with MANY STRONG feelings. I don't think there is any one right way to feel or handle it except always putting the child as the primary focus.
Aside from topics of adoption you can hear the genuine care and chemistry the two have for each other and their guest.
I'll keep tuning in for sure and maybe they'll decide one night they just can't sleep or something so why not jump on the mic to add a bonus episode to listen to

Could listen 24/7

I have been listening to your podcast and I love you guys. I am 48 now and was a teen mom myself. I got pregnant when I was 16 and had my son at 17. I watched teen mom from the beginning. and you both are one of my favorites. Cate I wanted to pull you through the tv and hug you so many times. I wanted to help you both so bad! Anyway you both are AMAZING! I have learned a lot about adoption from you. I’m loving your podcast so far. Keep up the great work!
