Laura’s Story from BraveLove: In the middle of pursuing her Master’s degree in music, Laura found out she was pregnant. At first, she worried adoption might come with the burden of stigma.

Watch as she chooses an open adoption and how much joy it brings to Laura and the family who adopted her son.
