0:00.0	As I'm crying behind sunglasses all the sudden this guy slams his hand on our table, not my partner.
0:10.0	The guy at the table next to us slams his hand on the table scares the crap on me and he's like I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry to interrupt. I have to talk to you.
0:21.0	And we're both just like super startled because we're at this really nice restaurant.
0:25.0	It's LA people do not talk to each other and we are clearly having a really serious
0:29.7	conversation and this guy slams his hand on the table and he says you can't give up you can't give up you have to keep going you have to adopt this baby.
0:40.0	Hi I'm Rachel, and in this show, we talk about everything.
0:49.0	Life and work, health and healing, relationships with others and with ourselves. These are

2:15.6	as they explore their options on the road to parenthood.
2:19.9	So maybe some of you have already heard this story,
2:23.8	but for those of you who are new,

2:28.2	Yeah, and I'm just gonna kind of go from the beginning
2:31.8	and tell you all the things I can think about that I might have
2:34.8	wondered when I was first considering adopting and hopefully I'll answer a lot of
