Description
Today I speak with Abby. She was adopted from South Korea with her little sister by Christian American Parents. Her early life was marked by abuse and neglect. She was raised in a non-denominational Christian family. Demons and hell cause her nightmares as a child.  She makes big life decisions based on her faith. She later has to tell her Christian family that she is getting divorced. When She has to tell them she's an atheist, it doesn't go over well with some.  Now Abby is determined to be the kind of parent to her sons that she needed when she was a child. She wants to give them choices. She wants them to feel they have control. She wants them to know that they are their own person and they don't belong to anyone.  Abby was delightful to speak with. Her story and courage are so inspirational. I'm grateful she shared her story with us today.  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCduezbfGbAZBzS3g5RwvW-g Email: [email protected]
