We are dropping this episode a day early to give you a chance to listen while you prepare for Thanksgiving. November is National Adoption awareness month. This week, we are pleased to interview Eric and Holli Kounce. They have fostered dozens of children and are in the process of adopting their 9th child. We know you will love hearing about the challenges and victories they have faced in this calling.
