Kristen Obbink’s journey to motherhood led her to Burkina Faso, Africa. It’s an adventure that also indirectly involved starting a business and buying a business along the way as she and her husband, Matt, grew their family through international adoption.
The couple started the adoption process in 2017. This March 3, they arrived home from Africa with their 12-year-old son Thomas. It had taken a few years to cut through the bureaucracy but ended in a whirlwind trip that “instantly” grew their family.
“He hasn’t been here that long, but I already can’t imagine my life without him,” Kristen said.
