For those that are new around here, I release bonus episodes that serve a niche part of my audience, I have listeners of all faith backgrounds that listen to the podcast. This episode is coming from a christian perspective so if that’s something that doesn’t fit what you’re looking for, check out the other episode that dropped this week about balancing the self and selflessness with Kelly Weekers or join me back here next Tuesday for a conversation that you don’t want to miss!

In this episode, Diane interviews Jep and Jessica Robertson, authors of the book 'Dear Valor' and stars of the show 'Duck Dynasty.' The conversation revolves around their adoption story and the challenges and joys of raising an adopted child. They discuss the importance of intentionality in adoption, the struggles of identity and fitting in, and the unconditional love they have for their son. They also talk about their new book, which aims to explain adoption to children and promote understanding and acceptance. A short and sweet - yet profound - episode!
