Josh Redfern and Lindsey Redfern--What to Expect and Preparation

Lindsey Redfern is a wife and a mom. She has two boys brought into their life through the miracle of adoption. Tyson is four and Gavin is three. They enjoy an open relationship with both of their boys' birth mothers (and one birth father!) and love having them in their home. Lindsey loves being an open adoption advocate and adoption blogger atwww.therhouse.com where she writes as "Mrs. R." She and her husband created an adoption consulting firm called The R House Adoption Consultants where they help members of the adoption triad have the best experience possible.

She is currently on the community manager ofMommyCast.com and co-owner of The R House Couture, a shop specializing in gifts of hope. A survivor of infertility, ICPC, an adoption scam, a contested adoption and a failed placement plan, her passion is to help others understand the hope that adoption provides to all members of the adoption triad and the blessings of open adoption.
