Miracle Pending Podcast
Miracle Pending is a brutally honest podcast about infertility, IVF, adoption, endometriosis, and everything in between. Hosted by Kari, it’s a space for the ones still waiting, still hoping, still crying in parking lots. With equal parts humor and heart, this podcast unpacks the messy, sacred middle of family-building when nothing goes as planned. Because not every miracle comes easy… and some are still on their way.

"Just Adopt" Part 1
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
After five years of infertility, there’s one phrase I’ve heard more than almost anything else: “Why don’t you just adopt?”
In this episode, I share why that question is far more complicated than it sounds... especially for me, as someone who was adopted.
This is not an episode about making a decision or offering answers. It’s about lived experience. I talk about growing up adopted, loving my family deeply, what it’s like to walk infertility while carrying gratitude and longing at the same time, and why adoption can’t, and shouldn’t, be treated as a replacement for pregnancy or a solution to grief.
