Thank you for sharing your story!
Just discovered your podcast and binged 3 episodes in a row. We are in the early phases of waiting for a match through foster care. It is comforting to hear a down to earth experience of the ups and downs, anxieties and joys of this surreal and often frustrating process. Good to know that your story is a positive one.
