Mark Wahlberg and Rose Byrne are the parents we all want in the movie Instant Family. The entire cast with Tom Segura and Tig Notaro and Octavia Spencer and the rest of the cast cast bring humanity to the true story of Sean Anders journey from fostering to adoption.   This couple, wants kids and they decide to adopt siblings from the foster care system, become the foster parents and then become (spoiler alert), their forever family and adopt.  This is a very realistic portrayal of many aspects of the foster system in the United States.

Listen in as Courtney and Colleen talk about family dynamics, stigmas against foster kids, how adoption works, the love and the pain of parenting and the honeymoon period that happens when everyone’s on their best behavior.
