This is one of most beautiful and most emotional episodes we've ever made.
It's actually from later in the first year of the podcast (October 2019) but we really wanted to play it again for you - here's how we described it at the time.
Original billing for this episode: In one of our favourite episodes ever, Kate Thornton is joined by poet Lemn Sissay and actress Lisa Faulkner for a no-holds-barred discussion of foster care and adoption in the UK. Lemn and Lisa come from two vastly different experiences: Lemn was taken from his unwed mother and placed with a foster family who turned him out of their home when he was 12; Lisa adopted her daughter in 2006, and counts it as the best decision of her life. Listen for a moving lesson in love and belonging.
We're working on new episodes of the podcast - and we'll be back with some more fabulous guests at the end of the summer.
Cheers!
