Bonus Babies gives you a glimpse of a part of society that most people tend to ignore. The title itself shows you the depth of these strong individuals. The children and the people that fight for them in a system that is broken is what makes this topic so important. Jayne Larson is a wonderful interviewer asking difficult questions that are sometimes hard to comprehend the answers. This is truly a wonderful podcast.
