The Choice: Her Story

from No Filter Needed Hosted by Dominique, Gennae, Richard

The hosts return with a heartfelt episode launching an adoption series. Gennae shares her experience with open adoption after getting pregnant at 13, the difficult family decisions, and meeting the adoptive parents who became part of their extended family. The conversation covers the emotional highs and lows of open adoption, how relationships evolved over the years with her son Eli, and the impact on everyone involved. Gennae offers honest advice for mothers considering adoption and thanks the adoptive family for their role. Listeners get a compassionate, hopeful look at how adoption can work when love and communication guide the process, and a preview that upcoming episodes will feature Eli and a final joint discussion.
