"Why Don't You Just Adopt?"


Listen Later

Molly's ready to start exploring her options for the future. So this week she talks with new friend, Katy Finn, a NY based adoptive mom to two boys, and gets the inside scoop on adoption. We learn about the family triad, transracial adoption, open adoption, home study, adoption language, money money money money, and cheese caves.


If you've ever shared about your struggle to get pregnant, chances are you've been asked "why don't you just adopt"? As if it was easy. The truth is, the word just does not belong before the word adoption. You don't just decide to adopt and then go home with a baby. There's paperwork, advertising, legal fees, medical bills, home studies, tens of thousands of dollars and waiting. Lots and lots of waiting.
