In this episode, Carlos sits down with family to talk openly about adoption, motherhood, loss, grace, and what it really means to build a family. They share the emotional journey of adopting Carlito during the pandemic, including a heartbreaking adoption that fell through after three days in the hospital. They discuss the complicated truth that adoption often begins with loss—for the birth mother, the child, and the adoptive family—and why sometimes the most loving choice is giving everyone the space to find the right path. The conversation also explores the realities of private adoption, the cost of the adoption industry, racial disparities, and why adopted children should know their story rather than grow up believing adoption is something to hide. Most importantly, they talk about love and grace—and how one family's experience changed their understanding of what it means to become a parent. 👉 Do you believe every child should grow up knowing their adoption story?
