Bernadette and I lost our children to the same network of brokers. She is owner of babybrokerwatch.com, the site that details the facts of the Kurtz agencies and their baby brokering activities. She is an incredibly valuable resource to me, a great friend and a wonderful mother who loves her son and looks forward to meeting him again.
This is gonna be great!
