Jan had an abortion. 
Then she gave up a child for adoption.
Then she got clean and sober and had a baby.

Then the adopted child returned to her life.

An amazing woman speaks from first hand experience about the choices no man can make. 

(TRIGGER WARNING: I’m adopted and parts of this story trigger ME! So take care of yourself.)

Rev. Lori Raible is a great wife and mom and the first woman ever to be named Senior Minister at Selwyn Presbyterian Church in Charlotte, NC.

As I research my own personal experience as a White child in the Deep South raised in part by Black women, I walk through the storytelling process with my friend Ramona Holloway with an eye on sensitivity and respect, knowing the whole area is a kind of minefield.
