Welcome to episode 28 of the You Can Adopt Podcast.
Worried your home isn’t “perfect”? Or that you’re not quite ready to adopt? You’re not alone.
In this special episode for National Adoption Week 2025, adopters Emma and Mike share their real experiences of preparing (and feeling unprepared!) to welcome their two children home in January of this year.
Hosted by their social worker, Cat, they unpack common misconceptions, share practical advice and remind us that readiness isn’t about perfection - it’s about openness, commitment and building connection over time.
Whether you become a parent through birth, adoption, or another path, the journey is filled with the same hopes, fears, and questions - especially the pressure to get everything “just right”. But as every parent knows, there’s no such thing as perfect.

In this special episode of the You Can Adopt podcast, we explore the topic of transracial adoption 🎙️
Yoni Ejo, a social worker, adopted person, adoptive mother, and founder of Diversity Adopt, engages in a heartfelt conversation with Rabail, a 20-year-old who was adopted at just eight months old by parents from a different ethnic background.
Like any other young person, Rabail is trying to figure out who she is and is keen to help others navigate their own journey by sharing the unique challenges and rewards of transracial adoption.
Together, Yoni and Rabail delve into a range of topics, from navigating cultural differences and DNA testing to overcoming feelings of shame and building a sense of belonging. They explore how important it is for adopted people to explore their own identity and heritage, how attitudes to transracial adoption have changed, and how this can be navigated with the support of those around you.
