A choice that changed everything

The story that changed my life forever.

Years ago, I made a decision that shaped my son's life—and mine. I spent decades wondering if he was happy, if he understood why I made the decision.

Then, one day, my phone rang. It was him.

When we reconnected, he looked at me and said three things I'll never forget:

"I want to get to know you. Thank you for giving me life. You have three grandchildren and five great-grandchildren."

This podcast is the echo of that profound moment, a space to explore the deep impact of adoption.

Where Every Story Grows and Every Voice Matters

Your Story Has a Place Here.

I created Roots & Branches Adoption Stories to give voice to the lived experiences that often go unspoken. With deep respect for every perspective within adoption — adoptees, birth parents, adoptive parents, and extended family — I hold space for honest, compassionate conversation.
