It's not all that often where we get to hear a birth mothers' story and how the decision was made to adopt her child out. We have heard a birth father's story (Episode 2 with Bruce Scott) and now we have an opportunity to hear about the how hard it was for Ruth before and after giving birth to her daughter. It really underpins Prime Minister Julia Gillard's speech and apology around forced adoption. I hope you get as much out of Ruths story as i did.<br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Episode 33 - Barbra Vernon

We talk with everyday people who have one thing in common. Adoption. This is a platform for people to share their stories with the aim to help others gain an understanding of the bigger picture, what it means to be adopted, how decisions were made, all the big questions are answered! We talk to the adopted children, birth parents and adopting parents as well those that facilitate the search for answers. Along with the adoption stories, people with donor conceived and Foster experiences are also more than welcome as there are many similarities with the adoption community.There is something here for everyone, please join us!
