Trailer: The Queer Family Podcast

Author: Jaimie Kelton – Queer Parenting & LGBTQ Families'. July 12, 2024 Duration: 1:08

The show all about family, but with gay! Queer mom, Jaimie Kelton, goes in-depth with weekly guests about their experiences as LGBTQIA+ parents. We explore how we build our families, delving into sperm and egg donor searches, fertility procedures like IUI/IVF/RIVF, surrogacy journeys, adoption and foster stories, donor sibling experiences, and more. In a world that seeks to strip away LGBTQ+ rights, this podcast refreshingly highlights, uplifts, and normalizes queer families. We let the world know that, despite working extremely hard to create our very intentional families, we're just like every other parent out there, trying to get our kids to put their shoes on when we're already 25 minutes late for school. This transformative storytelling podcast will have you laughing one moment and crying the next, and always wanting more.

Hosted by queer mom Jaimie Kelton, The Queer Family Podcast-LGBTQ Families & Queer Parenting Stories offers a weekly space that is both uproariously funny and deeply genuine. Each episode features conversations with LGBTQIA+ parents, hopeful parents, and their allies, delving into the specific joys and hurdles of building a family outside of traditional frameworks. You’ll hear firsthand accounts of the paths to parenthood-from adoption and fostering to IVF and surrogacy-and the everyday realities of raising kids in a world that can still feel unfamiliar. This podcast moves beyond theory, focusing on lived experiences that cover everything from health and fitness routines that work for queer families to navigating complex conversations about sexuality and society with children. The goal is straightforward: to share stories that normalize these experiences, elevate diverse voices, and celebrate the full spectrum of queer family life. Tuning in means connecting with a community, finding resonance in shared challenges, and gathering a lot of practical wisdom-and laughter-along the way. It’s a resource and a companion for anyone curious about or living within the beautifully expansive definition of a modern family.
