We recently had the opportunity to take part in a radio interview for NPR (National Public Radio). Nancy Mullane interviewed Amy (Eoin's birthmother) and I about open adoption. It was a very emotional time and sometimes hard to hear and witness Amy's pain but she blew us away with her strength and openness. It was kind of nice to be given an opportunity to share our story and let everyone know how great open adoption is.
My favourite part of the interview (though not featured in the final cut) was being able to remind Amy about something a nurse told her just before she gave birth to Eoin and that is that she is the true definition of a Hero. Choosing to give Eoin an amazing start in life was the most courageous and heroic thing she could do. And we totally agree!!!
So if you would like to listen to the interview you can hear it at:

Wow! That was a really awesome interview! What a nice thing to be able to do. Hopefully it will be able to educate some folks out there that just don't understand open adoption.
