#43: Adoption—Is It A Good Choice for You?

Have you ever considered adoption? Michelle was adopted as a baby and this topic is near and dear to our hearts. In this episode we bring on Marji Beach who adopted her daughter through the state foster-to-adopt system. Learn about the many wonderful reasons to choose adoption, the benefits of going with a public adoption through Child Protective Services instead of a private adoption agency, and see if this may be the route for you.

Hi friends,

In today’s podcast, we talk about a very special topic with one of our very good friends, Marji Beach. She shares her emotional and impactful story with us and takes us through all that she went through to adopt her little girl. 

❤ Toni + Michelle 

P.S. Have you seen Michelle's adoption story—and her reunion with her birth father after 30 years? Very touching stuff.
