Loss, Love, & the Road to Adoption with Alvina Vasquez
Tuesday, 20 January, 2026
Adoption is often talked about as one big happy ending but getting there often comes with heartbreak along the way.In this episode, we sit down with our friend Alvina Vasquez to talk about herthe long and, complicated road to parenthood. We begin with lighter moments and quick rapid-fire favorites before moving into the systems that shape so many of our lives, including ICE, Trump-era policies, and the ways political decisions ripple through families and communities.From there, the conversation turns personal as Alvina shares her experience with miscarriages, IVF, and private adoption. She walks us through the emotional highs and lows of a failed adoption, the realities of navigating a system filled with uncertainty and bad actors, and the relief and joy of finally bringing her son, Romero, home. It’s honest, emotional, and full of insight for anyone navigating (or questioning) the adoption process.And because this is Momarchy, we close by naming what we officially do not give a f*ck about in 2026, from toddler meltdowns to beauty standards, because sometimes survival means letting things go.We Discuss:(0:00) - Introduction(0:33) - Pop Culture Update(15:41) - Political Updates - Venezuela(22:20) - Political Updates - Minnesota ICE Incident(30:48) - Journey to Motherhood(46:54) - Parenthood Advice(50:05) - Issues That Matter as a Parent(52:22) - DGAF 2026 Edition(56:59) - ClosingLearn more about:Tanya Nathan is a political campaign and communications strategist with over a decade of experience in progressive campaigns and advocacy.
