The Michael Berry Show

Red you're on the Michael Berry show sweetheart go ahead

Yes, I have an unusual story. I wanted to

Just relay that my mother had me after hiding her pregnancy. I was number four when she was 21.

And she packed her bag when she gave birth and left me behind at the hospital.

I ended up having two mother figures in my life growing up.

And I'm sorry sorry this is hard and what they taught me was how to be a good mom not

because they were good moms.

They taught me to be a good mom inadvertently.

I met my mother who gave birth to me

when I was 36 years old and I had no idea that she was

my birth mom.

And I am so grateful that she left me behind because even though I had a bad growing up it would have been so

much worse with her.

She had nine children from eight different fathers and I was the first that she left behind.

Last year I found the last of us a brother who was the last one to be given away and he was very hard to find.

But we're all back together as siblings.

My mother and the two mother figures have all passed away.

And my daughter wrote a piece about me several years ago.

And one thing that she said was that I broke the chain.

And you did. You know what, and by telling this story, you're going to change

somebody's life. Don't underestimate that. 713991,000, let's have Pastor Ed Young, take us to break.
