Grab your tissues! Your heart is about to break in the very best of ways! This week on The Bestie Breakdown, we are breaking down ADOPTION! This is Part 1 of MANY adoption podcast episodes and, once you listen, you will understand why! Erika and Shay are sharing their reasons for adoption, the process, the timeline, the highs and lows, and the emotions of it all! Shay climbs on so many important soapboxes and Erika is emotional in ways that only adoption can make her feel.

You don't have to be called to adopt to learn something from this podcast episode. You can support adoption, adoptees, people who adopt, the foster care system, etc in so many ways, and we are talking about it all! We hope you walk away with a little more knowledge of adoption and the system, and maybe even a little tug on your heart to see if adoption is right for you. Adoption might come from brokenness, but it truly is the most amazing and impactful process you can imagine.

And, as always, Random Reader Questions! Ranging from favorite places to eat in the Dallas area, food we won't eat at all, first cars, Harry Potter, and more!
