The timing couldn't have been more perfect for our guest Christina Black to share her story. November is recognized as National Adoption Awareness Month & Christina's new book "Two Grandpas & a Truck" that shares part of her family's adoption story was recently published as well.

Christina is an adoptee. A title she shares first because it has made her who she is today and clearly defined family for her. And that is to love & be loved by others.

She is a wife. Married to her high school sweetheart. They were both born and raised in Mound City, KS and recently moved to Des Moines, Iowa area for a job promotion.

She is a momma. By adoption and biologically. Her trio is beautifully and wonderfully made, and she does not take for granted what an incredible gift it is to be their momma.

She is a writer and now published author. Not intentionally at first. But her thoughts and experiences through adoption led her to her first ever children's book about adoption and family.

She is a believer. In Jesus and the work he can do with open hands and a grace filled heart.

Thank you for spending your time with me on the Cowgirl Confessions podcast. I am so glad you stopped by. If you could take a moment to share this episode and tag us on social media- I’d be happier than a cowgirl in a sea of BOGO vintage turquoise.

Subscribe to make sure you don’t miss an episode. New episodes will be released bimonthly.

Please leave us a review if you feel so led by going to I tunes. Your feedback will really help us breath the idea of grabbing life by the horns with a COWGIRL STATE OF MIND into women across the globe, some that may have never even had the privilege to throw their leg over a horse but could most certainly use the cowgirl state of mind while navigating life.

Until next time, keep pursuing your dreams with that All Go & No Whoa mentality. Remember- You’re writing a story that’s worth saddling up for sister.

God Bless,

Dakota
