Now back to what this episode is all about. In our candid discussion of a very important revelation that Amanda and her husband just couldn’t have been prepared for, we learn about the loving way these parents are embracing their child Alexis through transition, the way her siblings have reacted, how things have gone at school and more.

Here are some great resources related to my discussion with Amanda.
