I am truly inspired by my guest this week who has struggled through infertility, has raised her special-needs child alone, and whose enthusiasm for life is contagious!

Shelly Sykes is an Australian mum as well as the author of six books, tv host, and inspirational speaker. She shares her frustrating journey to conceive, her torment when she was on bedrest near the end of her pregnancy, and why she wouldn’t change one event of her life story.

Join me as we laugh and give thanks for the life that we are blessed with!

This week is the continuation of my interview with Kari, the foster mom we met on our last show who adopted twins. She discusses the most common reasons children are put into foster care and how to apply to become a foster parent.

Did you know that if you want to just cuddle newborn babies with the understanding that they will be placed elsewhere that you can become an emergency shelter home for newborn babies? There are many options available for those who want to love the many, many children in our foster care system.

Kari and I also laughed and compared stories about how much our adopted children look like us, even though we didn’t give birth to them! They even have some of our character traits, which is truly a sign that God placed them in the right family, where they belong.
