About the Guest:
Teri Bledsoe’s journey is one of faith and family. From a young age, she embraced her spiritual beliefs. She has walked closely with the Lord throughout her life. After marrying, she and her husband welcomed a daughter into their lives. However, when Teri was 23, she underwent a hysterectomy that altered their path to family expansion. In seeking guidance, she and her husband turned to prayer, seeking how best to grow their family. During this reflective period, Teri felt a call towards adoption, inspired by a couple’s adoption story shared during a hospital visit.
This experience affirmed their decision, and two years later, their prayers were answered when they adopted their son, Christopher. This venture into adoption did not end there. Teri and her husband expanded their family further by adopting two more children. Her story is one of resilience, guided by faith and the profound belief in the power of open hearts and homes.
