NEW VANCE AUDIO: In an interview from 2020, JD Vance agrees with a podcast host who says having grandmothers help raise children is “the whole purpose of the postmenopausal female.”

He also agrees when the host says grandparents helping raise children is a "weird, unadvertised feature of marrying an Indian woman."

If you've experienced divorce, Maggie Smith's book is worth your time. If you haven't experienced divorce, the book is very much worth your time as well. Enjoyed discussing it with her on my latest episode. https://t.co/LxYn6Sipnd

“I advocate that we can always have open adoptions for every single adoption, even those where a birth parent is deceased, those where a birth parent is truly unsafe, or they’re in jail.”—@theadoptedlife on @famprocs #AdopteeVoices https://t.co/aubm8diytu

This is little Jessi Hempel and her dad back in the 80s. I love this sweet photo. But it hurts my heart too bc Jessi grew up in a religious family who believed being gay was sinful rather than a normal human experience. She was terrified that someday her family would discover
