When my daughter was five, we got a letter from her birth mother at Christmas time saying, “I started thinking about grad school but then, you know, 9-11 happened and we invaded Iraq... I’m planning on joining the army. I’m going to be going off to officer training school and in case I don’t come back, I want to come and spend the weekend with you and meet my daughter.”

Hi Neighbor,

Joining me today is my neighbor from San Jose, Terri Marcroft. Terri is an adoptive mom and a passionate advocate of open adoption.

You’ll hear Terri’s story and how it motivated her to create an organization to raise awareness of why adoption is the healthier solution to an unplanned pregnancy. 

Hope and healing are on the way.

Your Neighbor,

P.S. Would you please consider leaving a review for the show? Here is a short video to show you how.

Disclaimer: As is the case with anyone that I bring on the show to talk to you, I encourage take notes and listen to the information. Then do your due diligence and use what you can in your adoption journey to parent your child the best way you can.
