Laura Grimshaw and Jon Holmes present a selection of podcasts on the subject of adoption.

As Jon himself is adopted, we delve into podcasts from comedians, performers and entertainers to explore whether there is a link between performance and adoption. We speak to Twayna Mayne about her podcast Loco Parentis and her Radio 4 series Black Woman, to Mark Steel about his audiobook Who Do I Think I Am?, and to Lemn Sissay about the importance of adoption and his Radio 4 series Origin Stories.

We also feature expert advice and personal stories the podcasts #YouCanAdopt, Truth Be Told from Adopt Cymru, Adoption, Fostering and Tea from The New Family Social, and BBC Radio 4's The Adoption. Show less
