Not So Typical Family Podcast JUAN & JEN BENITO

Welcome Back: In this episode we talk about being married with children. We dive in by answering a recently posted question: How has having a child with special needs affected your marriage? We talk about the stress of raising children and lessons learned from raising a child with special needs.

In this episode, Jen and I talk a little bit about our marriage and our initial expectations. We discuss our family and cultural upbringing and how that helped shape our unrealistic expectations of each other. We even discuss a little about intimacy and what we thought would happen once we got married.

In the podcast we mention two books:

Why are you still listening? Honestly. Well, if you are, thank you. In this episode, we bring our kids along to talk about adoption and the impact it has on our family. Our kids are a little blunt, so I am sorry.

In this episode we allow our kids to share their story and how they have been impacted by Jana's adoption. They also discuss how her Down Syndrome diagnosis has impacted their view of their peers around them.
