In this episode we interview James Van Bibber, a father of 3 adopted children and a board member for Partnerships For Children. His story is eerily similar to the movie “Instant Family”. James walks us through his story from seeing his children for the first time on a news segment all the way to now, with grown children and a voice within the child welfare system. You will love hearing his story and it will encourage you in parenting.
