EP: 76 Raising Funds For Adoption with guest Heather Marshall

What if your heart is for adoption, but your budget is not?

Heather Marshall and her husband were in the same boat about 10 years ago, but now they are the proud parents of two beautiful adopted children. Now Heather encourages other to-be-adoptive parents that money shouldn’t have to hold you back from the dream of growing your family.

In this episode, she breaks down all of the different types of adoption, what kinds of costs you can expect to pay, and all of the ways to get help if you can’t fund the adoption alone. She also passes along encouragement to other women who have their own passion project calling their name.
