Jeanne Hall, MLK & The Bomb Threat

The first conversation I taped for this podcast was one of the most difficult. My friend Lucy Lustig was dying and she knew it.

Now Courtney and many other adult adoptees, birth parents and adopting parents are trying to change that old law in our home state of Georgia.

With the vast majority of lawmakers in favor, why is it taking years to get a vote to the floor and the bill to the Governor?
