This episode is a conversation with Renee Lynn Gellin lost her son through a perfect storm of financial struggles, and adoption coercion. This experience inspired her to want to prevent other mothers from losing their babies to adoption. She is a cofounder of Saving our sisters adoption. If you are unfamiliar with them, they are a family preservation organization. They and their many volunteers around the country work to support mothers in crisis so they do not feel the need to relinquish their baby for adoption. This episode was originally recorded in January of 2019 for my YouTube channel. There was a need for video editing, and I feel inept at editing videos, so it was put on the back burner, and kind of forgotten about. (I know that is crappy) Now that I am releasing episodes as podcast audio again, I reached out to Rene and asked if she would be ok with me releasing it as it is or would she want to rerecord, she said “Run with it!” So I am.

I am very excited to finally present this episode to the public. Please bear in mind the information in this episode is dated because the conversation is 4 years old.

There is no Youtube version of this episode.
