Adoption Stories

The Choice Secret
You have the right to take your time, change your mind, and make the decision that feels right for you—not for anyone else.
The Bridge Secret
You're not just adopting a child; you're becoming the bridge between two worlds.
The Trust Secret
Your child's curiosity about their origins isn't a threat to your family—it's a gift you can nurture.

Co-Host, Nathan Gwilliam

In January 2021, Nathan Gwilliam had just sold Adoption.com and was looking for his next venture. He saw podcasts as the next tectonic shift that would transform the business landscape, so he created a podcast with a blog, YouTube channel and social channels and published every day for a year.

After a few months, Nathan realized he needed 30+ technologies that cost almost $2,000 per month. Most of these technologies didn't integrate well and were missing key functionalities he needed to run his show.
