Summary

What would you do if you stumbled into a hospital's utility closet and discovered a baby soaking in a bucket of formaldehyde? Or witnessed a baby survive multiple abortion attempts and a frantic grandmother, another nurse at the hospital, demand her daughter's baby be left for dead?

After being forced into an unwanted abortion by her family at 19 years old, Melissa Ohden's birth mother didn't learn of her daughter's survival for three decades.

Today's guest, Melissa Ohden, shares her emotional journey of discovering her birth story, how that's shaped her today, and what it was like uniting with a mother who never even had the chance to hold her.
