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.

Welcome to episode 24 of the You Can Adopt Podcast.
This episode features Miles Asteri, former contestant on BBC’s ‘The Traitors’, and single adopter Alex, in conversation about their journey to adopt their children.
From deciding to start the process, navigating challenges, bringing your child home, to receiving support throughout – they discuss the bumps in the road, but how the rewards of providing a child with a loving, stable home are unparalleled.
Many people hold back from starting their adoption journeys because they’re waiting for the ‘perfect’ time or circumstances. Like any new parents, many prospective adopters worry about their ability to cope – but with adoption, this is a journey that can be navigated together with support available along the way. Adopting a child is a life-changing journey full of adventure, challenges, chaos and conversation – and love. The episode aims to show that all you need to do is take that first step.
