This week we’ve been talking about family planning and what influences parents when it comes to having children. We asked you to tell us about your families and what considerations you’ve made about how many kids to have.
Today we hear from two of our listeners who have made very difference decisions about their family.
Corinne Vander Ploeg is a stay at home mother of two children who is in the process of adopting two more. Lucia Briones is the marketing director for the Texas Army National Guard. She doesn’t have children yet, but plans on only having one.
Without federal support, local stations, especially in rural and underserved areas, face deep cuts or even closure. Vital public service alerts, news, storytelling, and programming like The World will be impacted. The World has weathered many storms, and we remain steadfast in our commitment to being your trusted source for human-centered international news, shared with integrity and care. We believe public media is about truth and access for all. As an independent, nonprofit newsroom, we aren’t controlled by billionaire owners or corporations. We are sustained by listeners like you.
Now more than ever, we need your help to support our global reporting work and power the future of The World.
