Are you considering, in the midst of, or have completed embryo adoption? Like most of us, our guest April thought that TTC and having kids would be easier, but six years of infertility struggles said otherwise. After April's infertility diagnosis, she and her husband adopted embryos to become parents. They now have a four-year-old son and are so thankful for embryo adoption as an option.

April Ebeling states: I was adopted into my current family almost two decades ago, so it would be natural to think that when it came to building my own family, I would not be as rigid about how it happened. Instead, I saw this as my chance to finally be "normal." I just wanted to be a regular person having a family the regular way.

April Ebeling, is an adoptive mom, award-winning musician, and military veteran who is passionate about creating musical experiences that make a difference in our daily life! She created Singalong Switch to rescue her mindfulness practice as a new mom and has now helped thousands of people around the world (23 countries and counting)! Fun, fulfilling, and most importantly FAST-ACTING, this technique is a wonderful addition to your mental health toolbox! www.aprilsingsalot.com
