The heart wants what the heart wants. Or so the saying goes. Sometimes that want is so strong that it turns us into true champions and advocates for others. This is where Carla Carlisle comes in. Carla is an author, advocate and speaker and she yearned to be a mother, but infertility issues and a miscarriage made that dream seem out of reach. Then, Carla became a foster mother. What happened next is the remarkable story of one woman's journey to the son who would become her own. Carla uses her experience to educate others about adoption, mental health, the foster care system, trauma and more. She may not see herself as a hero or a champion, but I certainly do. She's more than an advocate; she is a mother who fought for the child she so dearly loved. She chronicles her story in her book, "Journey to the Son."
