Today we welcome the amazing Jodie to the podcast! After nearly 20 years at A Guardian Angel Adoptions as an Adoptive Family Case Manager, Jodie has seen adoption from every imaginable angel. From the pure love and sacrifice it takes to be a birth mother to the heartache and resiliency it requires from each person involved.
In today's episode, Jodie shares her insights into the world of adoption that not everyone has the chance to see. Along with her wonderful sense of humor and immeasurable heart Jodie is offering a rare glimpse into the heart of adoption and helps all of us see what a beautiful gift adoption truly is.
Through the love, guidance, and support of our caring staff we advocate for expectant mothers seeking to give their unborn child a life and help them to connect with loving couples seeking to grow their family through adoption.
