It’s so good to see the Williams again after all these years. Such loving people and not even surprised by the creative way they love their kids AND the birth parents. 👏❤️

I love this dialogue about building the relationship between the adoptive and birth parents. Unfortunately, a novel idea- but what a gift for the children’s wellbeing! And the adults too! It’s got me thinking about why I’ve never heard of this before. And why are people so insecure. So many thoughts. Thank you for bringing this to us!
