She graduated from Columbia University with a bachelor’s degree in nursing 1977, and from SUNY Downstate Midwifery School in 1985.

Molly's ready to start exploring her options for the future. So this week she talks with new friend, Katy Finn, a NY based adoptive mom to two boys, and gets the inside scoop on adoption. We learn about the family triad, transracial adoption, open adoption, home study, adoption language, money money money money, and cheese caves. If you've ever shared about your struggle to get pregnant, chances are you've been asked "why don't you just adopt"? As if it was easy. The truth is, the word just does not belong before the word adoption. You don't just decide to adopt and then go home with a baby. There's paperwork, advertising, legal fees, medical bills, home studies, tens of thousands of dollars and waiting. Lots and lots of waiting.

TFMR stands for Terminating a Wanted Pregnancy. It's what I had to do. And what it turns out, thousands of women have to do all the time. It's tragic, but what’s almost as tragic is that many of these women do not feel like they can be open about their experience. On top of the excruciating pain of their loss they also have to hide the truth of their circumstances and suffer in silence. I hope by talking about my experience and sharing other stories of TFMR, that these women will feel safe and supported. In this episode Lyndsay shares her TFMR story and her wisdom.
