In this Part 2 episode, Gwyn picks up right where she left off—right after whispering to her teammate, “I’m pregnant.” She shares candidly about the fear, shock, and sense that her life was beginning to unravel.
We follow Gwyn through her hidden months at home and the way Scripture, research, and a refusal to take easy answers slowly shaped her path toward open adoption. She opens up about the doubts and questions that surfaced as her due date approached and the weight of the decisions she had to make.
Now, watching her daughter flourish, Gwyn steps into advocacy with conviction and grace. This episode offers an honest, hope-filled look at unplanned pregnancy, the reality of open adoption, and the courage it takes to choose a future bigger than fear.
