Michaela Marsh is white but grew up with her black "twin" brother!⁠ ⁠ Tomorrow, my interview with Michaela will drop inside the podcast. Her brother, Frankie was adopted when she was still very young, and they were only a few months apart in age. ⁠ ⁠ As far as they were concerned, they were twins. Frankie considered himself of Scottish heritage and never wanted to find out who his birth parents were. ⁠ ⁠ Michaela and Frankie were the best of friends! ⁠ ⁠ When Frankie passed away, Michaela felt a strong pull to go to Uganda to see where Frankie would have grown up had he not been part of her family. Serendipitously, Michaela got to meet Frankie's birth family. ⁠ ⁠ Now, she is connected with people she now considers family in Uganda. This experience has changed her life. ⁠ ⁠ Michaela's story is a powerful example of how love draws you out to love without barriers. ⁠ Connect with Michaela: https://starchildcharity.com/, http://www.michaelaonline.com/, https://www.facebook.com/pages/category/Interest/Michaela-Foster-Marsh-singer-songwriter-author-322228187827360/, https://www.facebook.com/starchildcharity/, https://www.facebook.com/michaelafostermarsh For more tools and resources for your intentional family culture, go to join the Family Success Toolkit Free Membership at http://homeandfamilyculture.com
