LGBTQ+ Adoption & Families

The I'm From Driftwood Podcast

What challenges do LGBTQ+ families face today? Phil and Alex are joined by Jim Obergefell, Director of Individual Giving at Family Equality and the lead plaintiff in the landmark marriage equality Supreme Court case, Obergefell v. Hodges. They discuss the current state of queer families in the United States and the unique obstacles families encounter in the adoption process. We also hear stories from Andy, whose adoption process was nearly sidelined by a homophobic nurse, and Fred, who ran into several roadblocks on his way of adopting a child.
