Here is a story about Valerie, who was adopted when she was 14 years old from foster care. In her senior year of high school, she became pregnant and placed her baby girl for adoption. Her story is heartfelt, with a unique perspective on adoption; because she is a part of two sides - an adoptee and first mother.
Don't miss my my other foster care and adoption series, Kindred, Kismet, Surrendered and Beyond Biological, as well as my two Korean International documentaries, "YoonMee: Beyond Korea" and "Happy Girl".
