| 0:00.5 | Okay, so if you think back over the pandemic, which was hard, which was a long, hard journey, |
| 0:08.0 | was there a moment that you remember as a beautiful moment or a good moment? |
| 0:12.4 | There were several, but I think one of the most beautiful moments for us was when we went to |
| 0:17.2 | Colorado to be with our son and daughter-in-law on their court case when their third child was |
| 0:23.0 | being adopted. That was really amazing. I even remember Austin Conn and saying, can you get out |
| 0:29.7 | here and we're like, oh, do we really need to be there? We're not even going to be able to go |
| 0:34.8 | into court room. It's going to be on Zoom. We'll just do it from home, but we booked a flight |

| 1:56.5 | We have Judge Joseph Wood with us today. And I think you're going to love today because we're |
| 2:01.7 | going to talk about story and the story of adoption. I mean, what's really interesting about you |
| 2:06.6 | is the story of how you ended up where you are. You're an author of a book called Saving Joey. |
| 2:12.3 | And the sequel adopting Joey. Yeah. And a father and he gets three daughters. How many grandkids? |
| 2:18.1 | Three. Three grandkids. Yeah. We had three sons. I don't know what it would be like |
| 2:22.3 | as three daughters. You've still got your hair. I lost mine. But what kind of family life today? |
