Episode 9 - Living with the Unknown, Lauren Fishbein Interviews Laura May

"My name is Laura May. I was adopted when I was an infant and have had an incredible life with my family. I met Lauren in high school and we became fast friends. Her family also took me in as one of their own, as I was a boarding student at our school and Lauren was a day student. You could say I was adopted twice, once by my family and once by Lauren's. I am a proud adoptee. I am excited to share my story of having my own biological daughters and them being the first biological family members I have ever met. So grateful to my friend Lauren for asking me to be a part of the Tough Love Podcast." --- Interested in being on the show? Know someone who might be interested?
