On this weeks episode we speak with Bekah Bischoff, who always knew she wanted to adopt a child, and that calling was confirmed by complications with her second birth where she had a full hysterectomy.
Although it took her time to heal from her birth trauma, she and her husband slowly worked toward starting the foster to adopt process.
Bekah tells us what it is like to go through the process of fostering children you so desperately want to adopt.
She provides great insight on how to talk to your biological kids about fostering and adoption.
She shares the deep pain of not being able to adopt or keep fostering a child that has been placed in her home.
And she shares with us how scared she was that she wouldn't be able to love another child like she does her biological children, and how that fear was washed away the moment she held her foster son.
