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.
