Pam never expected to have 7 children or that she would become a medical mom, but as we’ve heard again and again on Story Sanctuary—life often doesn’t go the way we planned. 

On today’s episode, Pam shares her motherhood story which encompasses adoption, fertility treatments, biological children, and being a medical foster parent. She goes in-depth into the medical portions, exploring adopting a heart baby, then finding out devestating news about her daughter Ally (pictured above) and what that journey has looked like for her family. Pam also discusses the difference in support with having a sick child in the 1990s vs. in the internet age, trusting your gut and what being a fierce advocate for her children has looked like over the years.
