S3E7 -CHALLENGES OF OPEN ADOPTION-BIRTH MOTHER AND ADOPTIVE MOM JENNY BECKNELL

Mind Your Own Karma – The Adoption Chronicles

Jenny is a wife of 28-1/2 years, a mother of 6 and a grandmother of 5. She is a birth mother and adoptive parent. Last year she and her husband adopted a boy who is 17, and her oldest is her 31-year-old ONLY daughter, who she had an open adoption with.

Jenny says the open adoption with her daughter included face-to-face visits, and that she was included and welcomed by the adoptive family for the first 18 years of her daughter's life.

Because of her experience as a birth mother, she feels it is very important for the correct information to be given to girls who find themselves at a crossroads with what to do with an unexpected pregnancy.

As an adoptive parent herself, she says that adoptive parents should know the truth about adoption and stresses how important it is for them to get the education and healing they need from the reasons they are seeking to adopt before they do so.

Jenny says this is her story, her experiences, her journey, and she is sharing this to help others. She realizes that in sharing her version, she will be talking about others that may have a differing account of the events discussed in this episode, and that they have the right to their experience as well.

If you or someone you know would like to tell their adoption story on the podcast (anyone in the adoptee constellation), please send an email to [e-mail], and your story will be considered for the podcast.
