In this episode of the B7 Better Together podcast, we dive deep into our personal adoption journey. We discuss how we came to adopt an older child from Colombia in 2018, detailing our hosting experience and the emotional roller coaster that came with it. Hear about our initial connections, our biological children’s reactions, and the hurdles we faced. We also touch on our initial discussions about adoption before marriage and the challenges of infertility. This heartwarming and tear-jerking episode sets the stage for the next part of our story, where we delve into the adoption process and life after bringing our child home.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
