Meeting you right where you are on your foster care journey, this is The Forgotten Podcast.

Once I found out I was adopted, I dreamed about my mom, I wrote about my mom, like, I just wanted to know who she was and who my dad was.

Just because I think every child who is adopted, they just want to know who she was and who my dad was just because I think every child who

has adopted, they just wouldn't know just like where they came from.

Hey, it's Jamie Cabe. Welcome back to the Forgotten podcast. If you are part of the foster care community,

passionate about serving or simply interested in learning more, today's conversation with my guest

Desiree Moore is for you. Desire bravely steps out and shares her story with us. Adopted at the age of

three, she suffered at the hands of those who were supposed to be her

protector. Postercare entered her story at the age of 17 as a welcomed relief. She longed to meet

her biological mother and throughout her life painted a picture, this perfect picture in her mind

of who her mother would be. If you've never met your biological

parent but have longed to, or if you're walking with a child who has a desire to meet family

she doesn't already know, I believe this conversation is going to be really helpful for you.

Desiree shares what she wished she would have known and done before meeting her mother

as an encouragement to us who are walking this road now. Desiree offers gems of advice and insight

that I think you'll want to hold on to so you have to look at later. I've gathered my takeaways

from today's conversation as well as tips from Desiree in our show notes,

and you can find those at the forgottenpodcast.org.

And I would love it if you would share today's episode with your people and tag us on Facebook and Instagram when you do.

We want to help people everywhere, support the foster care community, and experience Jesus

together.

All right, let's go now to my conversation with Desiree.
