Adoption often transcends earthly understanding. Ask any adoptive parent, and they'll tell you there is a higher power at work in bringing their child to them. 

Fara Dawn Bastian is an adoption advocate who is not only the dearest of friends, but was intimately and intricately involved in each one of our adoptions. This Remarkable woman shares the very heart and soul of adoption in a way that will astound you. 

Family Law attorney Mary Jensen has had a front-row seat to the Evans Life, A Remarkable Adventure. As our guest in this episode, she shares her insight into the legal side of adoption, and how adoptive families don't need to stress. And she shares some touching and emotional stories of how adoptive children wind up right where they belong.

In this episode of The Evans Life, A Remarkable Adventure we talk with Linda Hackett, Clinical Director of One Love Adoption Agency, about what adoptive parents can expect when using an agency, and the stories of love and miracles she's been a part of.

As we get ready to hopefully leave Covid-19 behind, it's time to plan that summer vacation. After 41 years of planning summer vacations, Bob, Diane, and Stacey have six things you must consider. And even if you're not quite ready to burst out of Covid isolation, it's good to get the vacation juices flowing. And this will help! Enjoy!

402 days in relative isolation. That's what the pandemic has forced on the Evans Family. That is a long time.

In this episode Bob and Diane interview the younger children about what it's been like to be largely sequestered at the house, avoiding Covid-19. We learn what they have learned and come to feel as the number of cases where they live has dropped, and restrictions are starting to be lifted. 

It's a delightful visit and glimpse at what all of this has meant through the eyes of these insightful children.

Kim and Kent Farnsworth had no idea their little family would turn out like this! But as they listened to their inner voice, things began to happen in a Remarkable way. 

Now they're living in England, and share with Bob and Diane what they have learned about promptings, and the courage to not just listen, but DO what that inner voice tells you, even if those around you think you're CRAZY!!!

There is nothing more powerful than creating new life. Our son and daughter in-law got to experience that for the first time with the birth of little Renee. Michael and Stephanie reflect on this wonderous new chapter in their lives.

How many loads of laundry do you do everyday? Can you name all your children? Do you drive a school bus? 

Those are just some of the questions we get on a regular basis when people find out we have 18 children. 

In this episode of The Evans Life, A Remarkable Adventure we explore those questions and a lot more, as Stacey seizes control of the podcast.

Just because 2020 has been a difficult year doesn't mean we can't continue with meaningful family traditions. In fact, those traditions help keep us grounded in the values that make us who we are. 

In this episode of The Evans Life, A Remarkable Adventure we share some Christmas traditions we've come to love over the years, and hear from each of the children living at home about the traditions they love the most.

As we ponder the things we're grateful for, we need to acknowledge the difference between gratitude and appreciation.

In this episode of The Evans Life, A Remarkable Adventure Bob, Diane, and Stacey talk about how truly great people have one thing in common. Can you guess what it is?
