Building a family shouldn’t feel like a financial guessing game.

This week, we’re sitting down with Kelly Ellison, MBA, Founder and COO of GGR Group LLC and VESTA for Families, who’s spent over 25 years helping families navigate adoption, surrogacy, and nontraditional paths to parenthood.

After adopting her daughter from China, Kelly saw firsthand just how overwhelming and expensive the process can be and made it her mission to help families do it smarter, with clarity and support.

In this conversation, we’re breaking down what most people don’t talk about.

We cover the real costs behind adoption and surrogacy, why so many families waste money before choosing the right path, and how to actually plan financially so you don’t have to start over.

Kelly reminds us that there’s no one-size-fits-all plan when it comes to building a family. But there is a smarter way to approach it.  Join us for next week’s Money Talks “Considering Adoption?
