Rock Bottom With Ned Fulmer - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Loved this week’s episode, especially hearing Rachel’s story about infertility. We went through years of infertility, and tried IUI 7 times before realizing that we were meant to create our family through adoption.

Adoption isn’t though everyone. It’s incredibly expensive, there are a LOT of misconceptions about how it works, and there is still a stigma is a “lesser choice” (it absolutely isn’t). You have to give up your dreams of being pregnant (which I never had, I just wanted to be a mom), and realize that being a parent is the most important thing. If you can’t do that, adoption isn’t for you.

We weren’t there for her birth, never met the birthparents, didn’t know she was coming until she was already here. But we get to be there for her 1st words, her 1st steps, the cuddles in the middle of the night, etc.

Ariel, you should find an adoptive mom/couple to be on this show.

I look forward to this pod every week. It’s honest and incredibly hilarious. Listening while currently pregnant is so helpful!

I'm not pregnant, and I don't even know if I want kids yet, but I listen to this podcast not ONLY because I love Ned and Ariel, but because I feel like this podcast is helping inform me to make a decision about having a family one day. Love you guys!

Single mom here and I love this. I was watching on YouTube and starting listening because well it's easier with a kid to just put the ear buds in and listen and it's awesome. Good advice and hilarious.
