In this powerful episode, we’re joined by Luce Remy, Director of Policy at Family Equality, to talk about the challenges LGBTQ+ families face in today’s political and social climate—and what it really means to be an accomplice instead of just an ally.

We cover:

• How anti-LGBTQ+ legislation is affecting schools, surrogacy, and adoption
• What to ask your school to ensure inclusivity for all families
• Personal stories from Luce’s advocacy work and parenting journey
• What families (queer or not) can do to create safer, more inclusive spaces

We also share our own update about beginning the journey for baby #2 and how Maverick’s love for flowers brought unexpected joy to our week.Want to be our next hero? Check out Nodal to register to help a family. https://tinyurl.com/broadwaydads-nodal

If you’ve ever considered adoption — or been overwhelmed by it — this is the episode you need.

Brian Rosenberg, founder of Gays With Kids and GWK Academy, joins us to debunk myths, share facts, and give insight into the adoption process, especially for LGBTQ+ families.

We talk about:

• The real barriers (and breakthroughs) in LGBTQ+ adoption

• Foster care, international, and domestic routes — and how they differ

• What birth parents are really like (spoiler: they're not scary)

• Why adoption doesn’t mean 'less than' — it just means different

Plus: Brian shares the emotional moment he knew his adopted son was 100% his.

Brian Rosenberg is the founder of GWK Academy Family Building, a non-profit spin off of the popular Gays With Kids website and virtual community he launched in 2014. Brian is very excited to share the news of GWK Academy’s upcoming expansion plans. Soon they will announce that they now support all paths to family-building for the entire LGBTQ+ community. visit GWKAcademy.org
