Summary

Since adopting my son, I have had many people approach me with questions. How did you do it? Was it hard to do? Did anyone care that you were single, gay or HIV+? Why did you choose a local adoption over a foreign adoption? Family Builders is the agency that I worked with to fulfill my longtime dream of becoming a father. In this podcast I interview Jill Jacobs, Executive Director of Family Builders about the process of adopting children who are stuck in the foster care system. In the interview Jill talks about the process of adopting a child and shares some shocking statics about just how many children are in need of a loving home right here in the United States.
