The social workers are officially out of our lives. After hundreds of check-ins, forms, visits, and assessments, this chapter of our adoption journey has finally closed. And wow… it feels big. In this episode, we talk about what really happened after we brought our son home, the emotional rollercoaster we didn’t fully share at the time. The exhaustion. The overwhelm. The quiet doubts. The pressure to look like we were coping. We were often “faking it till we made it,” trying to hold everything together while adjusting to becoming daddies overnight. If you’re in the adoption process, thinking about it, or in that blurry 'just becoming parents' phase, wondering if everyone else is finding it easier than you, then this one’s for you. This is what happens after adoption - our experience.

Everyone told us not to travel with a baby... so we went to Japan anyway with a baby haha! From no seatbelts for our little boy on the flight, to a full on poo explosion at the airport, to navigating jet lag and tantrums across the world... this trip was messy, chaotic, hilarious, and unforgettable. And somewhere between the chaos and the quiet moments, Japan did something unexpected. It made us rethink our whole future. Could we really move here? Join us for the highs, the lows, the laughs in this episode and discover why having a baby doesn’t end adventure… it just opens the door to a bigger, wilder, more beautiful world (with a little bit of sprinkled exhaustion)

This Valentine’s special gets a little… dramatic. We take a trip down memory lane and share the REAL story of how we met (we haven't always been truthful about this), what our Valentine’s Days used to look like before parenthood, and how our relationship has changed over the years. Then we put it to the test. We play a “How well do we know each other?” Valentine’s edition... and let’s just say, some of the answers don’t go to plan… with talk of divorce thrown around more than once. Perfect if you’re new here, and even better if you’ve been with us from the start. Happy Valentine's Day!
