This episode I'd like to walk you through my experience adopting my first child, Remington Rain with my husband Bob in 2017. I'm answering all the questions I've been asked over the years, including the not so polite ones. Though I am always an open book and happy to answer them all. Remi's adoption story has already blessed many families. Adoption can seem like a scary process and I'm here to debunk any rumors, clear up misconceptions, and help you face your fears. One rumor I often hear is “Do adopted children have attachment issues?” Yes they can, and so can biological children. Here's another fear I hear, “but the child doesn't have my genes and biology”. Yes and you also don't know what nurture will do with the genes you provide your biological child as well. My opinion is that adoption is not about me. It's not about taking another child to be my child. It's about providing the child the love, peace, and nurturing he or she needs through an open family. I feel blessed to be able to give that to my daughter Remi. In this episode I share: The A-Z steps of a domestic adoption and there are a LOT Whether or not you need a lawyer  How the matching process works Differences between open and closed adoption How long the process takes My biggest fear of the adoption process The range of emotions I went through including a depression What it really means to be a parent You can watch the videos of our adoption process on YouTube in this 3 part series https://youtu.be/jifPuKMM_E4  https://youtu.be/T5t5zDFBsfAhttps://youtu.be/_crrU8z2j5I  Connect with Christine on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/christinebullock/ Connect with Christine on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ChristineBullockFitness Follow Christine on Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/chrissybullock/_created/ Text Christine questions at 1-310-361-8697 Join Brooke Burke Body App and get 2 weeks free with code "KISS22": https://kayobodycare.com/pages/bbbapp Sponsored by Kayo Body Care Kayo Body Care was the first to create Face Grade Body Care® products.

In this 3-part series to Episode 3, we deep dive into three very different adoption stories to explore the topic of biological identity and origin. In Part 1, Jason reveals a major find, a truth to his own adoption story that perhaps would have gone undiscovered if not for Ancestry.com. In Part 2, we talk about the truths one mom faced while building a family through adoption. Here, we have a heart-to-heart with a mom who shares her very personal journey to building a family through adoption.     This week:  Enjoy a Whiskey Old Fashioned and share this recipe's origins Channing met Jason and Yvonne through a mutual friend, Hank and Sueann Fortener, founders of Adopt Together  Channing tells Jason and Yvonne that she had medical challenges that made it impossible for her to carry her own child  To Channing, adoption felt like it made a lot of sense and there are kids out there that needed a home, so that's the path she chose Channing explains how she talked to her children about their own adoption journeys  Yvonne asks Channing, “What has been your search for identity?”  Channing talks about feeling like she was “playing with half the deck,” being a Black girl growing up in an all-white neighborhood Channing talks about growing up without representation in media, and how much she appreciated women like Shonda Rhimes now  Jason and Channing talk about being biracial, both Black and white, in cities that were historically sundown towns. Channing talks about how she predicts how her children will come to understand their adoption journeys    Cocktail: Whiskey Old Fashioned Recipe 2 oz of George Dickel Rye Whiskey Three teaspoons of simple syrup  Several dashes of bitters  A couple of splashes of water    History & Meaning The Old Fashioned : Before the 1860s, cocktails in America tended to be some mixture of spirit (often cognac), water, sugar, and bitters. After the 1860s and into the 1870s, other liquors like absinthe were being introduced to bars.  But a generation of drinkers wanted something more classic, so they would ask for something their grandfather would drink. They would say, “Make me something old-fashioned.” And the name stuck.

In this 3-part series to Episode 3, we deep dive into three very different adoption stories to explore the topic of biological identity and origin. In Part 1, Jason reveals a major find, a truth to his own adoption story that perhaps would have gone undiscovered if not for Ancestry.com. This find led Jason and Yvonne to a soulful and identity-searching discussion with Hank and Sueann Fortener of Adopt Together, an organization that helps families come to be.      This week: From the lens of what it means to adopt, we'll discuss identity and origins from generation to generation Jason tells Yvonne the story of how he paid the Department of Human Services in Nebraska $17 for information on his adoption while on a road trip to a show in Chicago Jason discusses how his adoption story and his DNA journey lead him to explore family members he never knew; people from Louisiana, Scotland, South Carolina, South Georgia, and even a few Germans in Russia (Volga Germans) Jason discusses what it means to be a Black man, and an adopted man, in America  Jason and Yvonne speak to Hank and Sueann Fortener about their non-profit Adopt Together. Adopt Together is a donation organization that has helped 6500 families raise $25 million in 10 years  Sueann discusses not being American enough in America and not being Korean enough in Korea  Sueann and Yvonne discuss the complexities of multi-ethnic subcultures and their racial standards  Hank discusses how at seven years old his parents approached him about how he felt about them becoming foster parents  Hank discusses how his own family took on foster kids after he and his wife could no longer have kids biologically   Cocktail: Whiskey Old Fashioned   Recipe 2 oz of George Dickel Rye Whiskey Three teaspoons of simple syrup  Several dashes of bitters  A couple of splashes of water    History & Meaning The Old Fashioned :   Before the 1860s, cocktails in America tended to be some mixture of spirit (often cognac), water, sugar, and bitters.

If you're a child of the 90s, you probably remember Lindsay Price after she joined the cast of 90210 in 1998, or prior to that when she made a name for herself in both "All My Children" and "The Bold and the Beautiful." Most recently she played Camille in 2 seasons of "Breaking Up Together." In 2008 she starred in the NBC drama, "Lipstick Jungle." Inspired by her mom's harrowing adoption story in South Korea, Lindsay is an adoption advocate and works with AdoptTogether to spread awareness about the importance of adoption and how many children in the world need loving homes.Lindsay opens up to Hilaria and Daphne about how life for her changed when she went from a mom of one to a mom of 2, her approach to balancing the chaos of life between her career and motherhood, and how she handles the aggression/rough housing her little boys display towards each other. However, things get amazing when she opens up about her mom's incredible story of survival and her journey out of South Korea, and her subsequent adoption which so deeply connects Lindsay's own life today.Please support Adopt Together and help families in their efforts to adopt by going to adopttogether.org.Adopt Together's annual event Baby Ball will be weekend of October 11th this year and World Adoption Day is on November 9th.
