Hello, I’m Stacy, the host of Mothers, Lies and DNA Surprises Podcast. Thank you for being here.  

Before I introduce today’s episode I want to share an opportunity to help grow an amazing project for NPEs.  I’m so proud of one of my best friends and fellow NPE for founding this project to grow awareness for NPEs.

The project name is the Faces of NPE Project, which includes faces of NPEs who submit their photo as a visual representation to help grow awareness and open thoughtful, respectful dialogue around our experiences.  

If you choose to participate, you only need to submit once.  Your photo becomes part of an ongoing collage that continues to grow each year.  
Submissions for this year’s project close May 13th, with the release happening in June for NPE awareness month.

If you would like to be included, please email Carmen at [email protected].

Thank you!

Now for today’s episode…..I am sharing Beth’s update from her November 4th episode (episode #5)!  

The key line that I took from our conversation is “I’m so glad you hit send”!!

Someone from one of Beth’s support groups said something that rolled around in her mind, this kind soul said: “You might be the best thing that ever happened to them”.  Beth had a draft she had in her email that sat for months, and a voice in her head kept telling her to send it, just hit send.  Eventually she sent it to her new oldest half-sister. Within 12 hours she received a response, it seemed cold, matter of fact! And I will leave the rest for you to listen to, to hear her tell the story!

“What can be gained from them” – Beth learned that the answer to this sometimes is “everything”.

Just! Hit! Send!

Thank you Beth for sharing your update with all of us!
