Michelle Madrid Branch's Story [S2E14]

Michelle Madrid Branch understands adoption in ways that most others do not. She is both an adoptee and an adoptive parent. She was adopted in the U.K. as a toddler, found her biological family as a teenager, and after she got married and had one biological son, she and her husband adopted two children internationally. They brought home a son from Russia and a daughter from Ethiopia. Michelle has great insight into the struggles and triumphs that adoption can bring to all those involved. She is truthful about her journey and so inspiring!! She is an author, speaker, and global advocate for women and children. Her books include "Mascara Moments," "Adoption Means Love," and "The Tummy Mummy," which was voted one of the top 25 adoption books for children. She is also the Executive Producer and Host of "The Greater Than Project," which is a documentary web series exploring the intrinsic greatness within women.
