Sexton. Linda's greatest joy in life remains the parenting and adoption of her two children in 1994 and 1998, both in open arrangements. Back in those days, Linda was a pioneer in handling an open adoption since guidance on the &quot;how to&quot; was unavailable. Yet she and her husband defined a path to stay in contact with all four of her children’s birth parents throughout their lives. Her greatest desire now is to help those who are embarking on this same wonderful and sometimes frightening, unnerving commitment. Listen to Linda and our hosts discuss the joys and challenges that an open adoption can bring to adoptive parents, their adopted children, and their children's first family.&amp;nbsp; *Learn more about Linda R.
