My guests today are Duane and Charlotte Turner. They both grew up in Jacksonville Texas and were married 64 years ago at Enterprise Baptist Church. Their journey of adoption started in 1961, and they have been advocates and supporters of that incredible expression of the gospel ever since. They came to TBHC in 1997. Duane served as the officer of development and Charlotte volunteered on campus. Duane traveled during his 4 years of work for TBHC visiting 120 churches in the Baptist Missionary Association of Texas. His legacy continues to impact TBHC to this day. Recording is a little different than normal because we recorded this in their home. Duane and Charlotte wanted to share because they want families to know the joy of adoption and know they can make a difference in a child’s life.
My guest today is a longtime friend Norita Drake. She has lived in TX for 34 years and is widely known among friends as being a great cook. I personally can attest to this and have enjoyed some of her dishes over the years. I especially got a sample one Thanksgiving many years ago when my wife and I spent Thanksgiving Day with Norita and her late husband, Earl. Norita has served and continues to serve in ministry support roles. Currently serving as a kid ministry assistant. Norita has shared her story publicly because she wants “adoption to be more considered, accepted, and sought after.” So, more people will know “Every child deserves a mother and a father!"
TBHC is excited to launch our brand new podcast called Bringing Kids Home. We will explore stories of Adoption and Foster Care. As well as how anyone including you can make a difference in a childs life.
