Today’s show is a show of firsts. You will learn how Tristan and Scott Casson-Rennie first met, how they became the first same-sex couple to adopt through the agency they used, their trials and tribulations as they navigated parenthood with first a sibling group and then a third child added to the mix, how they created their first organization together called FASD Ireland, and what the first item Scott asked for after coming out of surgery.
You will also learn about their partnership with the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower, the barriers to starting a new venture in a culture of alcohol acceptance, Scott’s involvement with the Adoption and Fostering Podcast, and a recent serious health condition that changed their perceptions on life and created an unexpected change in one of their sons.
This was a fun interview as well as an enlightening one. I love to hear what is going on in different parts of the world. Despite cultural differences caregivers around the world have so much in common. While you may not be able to start your own organization, I hope you will be inspired by Scott and Tristan and find something you can take into your everyday caregiving that helps you meet with more success.
