Sarah’s Story from BraveLove: When Sarah was 24, she found out she was pregnant. She always wanted to be a mom but was overcome by fear when this reality came so unexpectedly. She knew immediately this path was going to be difficult, but wanted to do what was best for her son. Sarah chose to place her son with a loving family through adoption! This journey brought them closer than they ever imagined possible. Watch as Sarah and the family she placed with, share an honest portrayal of not only the struggle, but also the joy and beauty that has come from their open adoption.

As a social worker who helped women with unexpected pregnancies, I saw that adoptions needed more heart and connection! I created Adoption & Beyond to create genuine connections between birth and adoptive families. Then life threw me the most beautiful plot twist – I became an adoptive mom myself! Talk about on-the-job training! For over 30 years, I've guided families through adoption with transparency, education, and ongoing support long after the "welcome home" balloons are gone. Feeling uncertain? I'm here to walk beside you on this amazing family-building journey.
