Amanda Bashaw has been a mother to close to 40 children. Yes, you read that correctly. Amanda and her husband have fostered over 36 children. One holds an especially tender place in my heart as Amanda was my son, Harrison's foster mom before we took placement and then adopted him. Amanda shares her 6 year infertility journey that led she and her husband to their beautiful child Abbi. We talked pregnancy following infertility and she shared what it's like raising a child who is non-binary. Amanda also opened up about her miscarriage and the sever bout of depression  that followed the loss of their second child and pregnancy and how that led their family to foster. 

This episode is part 1 of a 3 part series in which I sit down with Amanda Bashaw and we talk her story, foster care, and she even was gracious enough to help me tell Harry's story in part three of this little mini series.
