Breaking the Silence

Point B:
We were told over and over again to keep our story a secret. Don’t tell ANYONE we had a baby. EVER. Go on with our life and forget all about it just like all the other girls did. Even if family or friends knew, it was a subject never discussed.

Maybe Disney could make this sequel to one of his all-time hits? Of course, our feature song has to still be included!!!

Point A:
Learning to find your voice is never easy, but adding adoption into the mix makes it almost impossible. It has taken me several years after our reunion to find my voice — but I am so glad I did!
