Authors Read Radio 's featured guest: Patricia Dischler, author of Because I Loved You: A Birthmother’s View of Open Adoption - which covers the author’s journey from before the pregnancy at 21 years old, through to her son’s high school graduation. Patricia shares the struggle of her decision, the pain of carrying it through, and the joy in building a relationship with her son’s adoptive parents - and ultimately with him, over the years. It is a positive story on what adoption can be when all the parties focus on the well-being of the child.
