Adoption Journey | Max & Andrés AMA

44 minutes

In today’s episode, I’m joined by my partner, Andrés, to talk about our adoption journey. We’ll share where we are in the process, the challenges we’ve faced, and answer some of your questions about what it’s really like. From navigating agencies to dealing with the emotional ups and downs, we’re giving you an honest look at the highs, lows, and everything in between.
