Anton sits down with Rachel McCoy—foster mom, adoptive mom, business co-owner, and part-time ops wizard—to talk about saying yes to hard things and finding joy in the simple moments. Rachel shares how a high-school Best Buddies friendship sparked a lifelong calling, what it was like welcoming Johnny (rare chromosome deletion; G-tube, HOH/ASL support) and Sam (Down syndrome) through foster care and adoption, and how she and her husband Michael split appointments, protect their marriage, and set their kids up for success. We dig into practical inclusion (what to say to your kids, how to engage at the park/school), why consent and generosity matter, and the Times Square moment that made New York worth the chaos.
