The New Orphan Crisis - Part 1 with Guests John, Marlene, and Hannah Strege
Did you know that there are roughly 1.25 million frozen embryos, just waiting for a chance at life? On today’s edition of Family Talk, co-host Gary Bauer talks with John and Marlene Strege, about their story of being the first couple to “adopt” a frozen, fertilized egg and carry it through a successful pregnancy. The result of that endeavor was the birth of their daughter, Hannah, who is now a young adult with dreams of opening her own adoption counseling practice.
