So this week she talks with new friend, Katy Finn, a NY based adoptive mom to two boys, and gets the inside scoop on adoption. We learn about the family triad, transracial adoption, open adoption, home study, adoption language, money money money money, and cheese caves.</p><p><br></p><p>If you've ever shared about your struggle to get pregnant, chances are you've been asked \"why don't you just adopt\"? As if it was easy. The truth is, the word <em>just </em>does not belong before the word adoption. You don't just decide to adopt and then go home with a baby.
