Y'all thought we were only talking donor conception?

Family trauma comes in all forms - Nicole's story checks a LOT of those boxes.

Nicole, a former TV news reporter and Jeremy's close friend, shares with Ally and Jeremy about her father's black market adoption and untimely death, her mother's subsequent demons, growing up half white, half Palestinian, accidentally revealing her ex-boyfriend's family secret, and SO much more.
