I met Rachel Bruno at the NRB Convention at the beginning of March. I heard her story and had all of the feelings! I knew she needed to come on the podcast to tell her story. This is a longer episode, but it is such an important story for everyone to hear. There was another very similar case that happened in the last few weeks and I didn't realize how big of a problem this is.
Rachel is a wife to her husband of 19 years, and a mom of two boys. As a business and communication specialist, her goals were to start a business, and become financially independent so she could start a family. Things drastically changed in the summer of 2015, shortly after the birth of her second child.
Rachel’s faith carried her through the unimaginable. Her 7-week-old baby and toddler son were seized by Child Protective Services when her newborn sustained critical cranial injuries while in the care of a nanny. She was evicted from her own home and had to endure an arduous court case to prove her innocence.
Rachel is now an author and public speaker. Her focus is to educate families while being a voice for those victimized by the unconstitutional clutches of Family Court and Child Protective Services. Through the pain of her experience, she came to the realization of her calling: to fearlessly proclaim the role of women in the family and the gift that comes with it.
