“This should have and could have at any moment taken me out, too, all the stuff that I talked to you about.” – Patrice Martin

But God. There are more than two sides to a story when it comes to adoption, and when you hear Patrice Martin’s story you’ll understand that God is truly the Author and Finisher of her story. In Season 2 Episode 6 we introduced you to Patrice’s sister, Sarah Murphy, and her diligent search for Patrice. The two sisters met for the first time on the TLC show, “Long Lost Family” (Season 6 Episode 8). 

In this episode, Patrice walks us through life before and after the show. Patrice not only met her sister that day, but also her birth mother – the woman who birthed her alone at home, cut the cord, surrendered her baby behind a mall, went to work and then carried the secret for years. 

“Adoption is trauma” and Patrice’s “divinely ordered” journey is one that has led her to use her incredible story to advocate for other adoptees and mothers.
