She Chose Adoption at 16, Now Tells Her Story Alongside Son and His Mother

Erin Boggs was 16 in 1992 when she learned she was pregnant. “I was scared, definitely kind of alone,” Boggs says. “So, I knew the decision was going to land on me solely, and it felt like a critically important decision.” Boggs says people around her suggested she could parent or abort, but no one recommended adoption, but that was ultimately the choice she made. “It was honestly through prayer and putting myself in each scenario and thinking through what each would look like, and adoption just made sense,” she says. About 23 years after Boggs placed her son Jordan for adoption with Jeanne and Scott Hamilton, she had the opportunity to meet him. From their first meeting, Boggs and Jordan Hamilton began building a relationship, and nearly eight years later, they, along with Jeanne and Scott Hamilton, are sharing their family story. Boggs and Jordan and Jeanne Hamilton join “The Daily Signal Podcast” to explain how adoption changed all their lives, and why it’s a powerful answer to unplanned pregnancy. Enjoy the show!
