It's National Adoption Month!

Send us Fan MailDid you know that 606,031 children passed through the foster care system in 2021? Read that again and let it sit with you a moment. 606,031 kids that deserve the same love just as any other sit, wait and dream of the perfect day.  For 6 months of each of our children's lives we fostered them in order to proceed with their adoptions. The uneasy moments of not being in control, for me, was one of the hardest parts. The stories that I hear from foster parents are absolutely inspirational. Each experience  of unconditional love waits so patiently  on the other side, yearning for the moment to build the family they've always dreamt of having. One of these dreams came from a loving mother in South Florida that has a beautiful family in thanks to our foster care  system. Ann Swearingen recalls her own experience with her partner, Jeff, through the Foster Care System. Listen as she so delicately recollects their own path  of parenthood that  lay before them. Their fear is real, but the love is transcendental and will always win.Next, we welcome Doug Munster, an adoption advocate that helps to run the Georgia Chapter of the Non Profit "GIFT OF ADOPTION". He and his husband, Brent are the proud dads of two beautiful boys through their own journey of adoption. Recently, Doug and his chapter raised over $600,000 that will benefit families in Metro Atlanta and reaching outward into Georgia and in turn was given recognition in Washington DC this summer. Doug's chapter in Georgia has helped 5,000 kids find their forever family! He is doing BIG things in the world of adoption and all of it is so appreciated. Thank you Doug! You can follow all of his sweet families adventures on Social media. Find them @realmoderndadsTo find out more about The Gift of Adoption head over to GIFTOFADOPTION.ORGSupport the showThank you to our family of amazing sponsors of UNSCRIPTED: The NolaPapa Podcast                                                 Ochsner Children’s HospitalWww.ochsner.orgRouses MarketsWww.ochsner.orgSTATE FARM® INSURANCE AGENT Leigh Ann Arcuri                www.ridewithla.comAudubon Nature Institute                                                                                                   www.aduboninstutue.org Cafe Du Monde                                                                            www.shop.cafedumonde.com                                                                         Sandpiper Vacations                                                                www.sandpipervacations.comNew Orleans Ice Cream Company                                 www.neworleansicecream.comERA TOP REALTY: Realtor Pamela Breaux                                                                Email to:[email protected] Orleans Tea Co.                                                 www.neworleansteacompany.comBottom of the Cup Tea Room                                                www.bottomofthecup.comAnd thank you to our AFTER DARK!
