About this listen

In this episode, Ashton shares the deeply personal story of how her family came together through loss, uncertainty, and two very different adoption journeys. From infertility and IVF, to kinship foster care that became forever, to a private infant adoption, Ashton reflects on what it means to love children through the unknown.

She opens up about honoring birth families, navigating trauma and trust, and raising children who know their stories from the very beginning. This conversation is an honest, hope-filled reminder that family isn’t defined by biology—it’s built through presence, advocacy, and love.
