Podcast #2Many adoptees and foster children haven&apos;t been told that it&apos;s possible to find freedom from their painful past. Sherrie reviews the literature that&apos;s been available, especially that of Nancy Verrier&apos;s THE PRIMAL WOUND. The case is made that in physical healing, validation of the wound is just the beginning. Most adoptees want more--more growth, more steps to take toward freedom, and more self-worth. Sherrie shares her story of how this reality transpired in her life.

This podcast will present the perspective of both the adopted child, through Sherrie Eldridge's insights, and the adoptive parent, through 50 adoptive moms who contributed to her research.
