Adoption: The Making of Me. An Oral History of Adoptee Stories

A 20-year Search for Answers


Listen Later

As early as he could comprehend it, Matt had always known he was adopted – but he never had the desire to find his birth parents. That is until the birth of his only daughter brought more questions than answers about his health and ancestry. When he received his adoption paperwork from the State of Wisconsin, he discovered that his birth father was never told of the pregnancy.  That started 20 + years of searching to finally find the answers he was looking for.

Also in this episode, Sarah and Louise discuss B.J. Lifton's Journey of the Adopted Self.
