Episode 22:“Plot Twist on the Lake: Ian’s Adoption Story, Homeschool Freedom, LEGO Focus & a Rising Artist’s Faith”

Episode notes

In this special Adoption Month episode, I sit down with my youngest, Ian Ambrosetti - the red-haired, glasses-rocking baby of our crew of seven - to share his side of our family’s story. Ian takes us back to the day he found out he was adopted (spoiler: the reveal happened on a boat and he thought the surprise was a puppy ). You’ll hear how he processed the news at age 12 with peace, gratitude, and a deep sense that God had a plan for him long before he knew it. We talk big-family life (he became an uncle three times at age seven and is now Uncle x14), what he loves about being homeschooled, and how dyslexia led us to a surprising tool that helped him focus - LEGOs. Ian also shares where his music and film-acting journey is headed, and he gifts us a quick, impromptu a cappella moment from a church song that’s been on his heart. It’s tender, honest, and faith-filled - complete with a thank-you to his birth mom for choosing life and love. Follow Ian’s journey on Instagram and TikTok (links in the show notes), and if this episode encouraged you, tap follow and leave a quick review to help more families find hope.
