As an adoptive mom to 7 this podcast is exactly what I needed to stumble upon. I’ve just been listening through all the past episodes. We’re in a hard season as a family and I really struggle in our small community to feel as though we belong sometimes. It’s nice to hear my husband and I’s feelings and worries are validated and there is an entire community just like us.
