🧩 Analog Rick
In 1992, Rick set out to find his birth mother’s family without DNA tests, without Ancestry, without 23andMe, without Facebook, and without the internet as we know it.
All he had were a few pieces of information, some determination, and the willingness to follow a trail the old-fashioned way.
In this episode of Missing Pieces — NPE Life, Rick tells the story of how he found the missing pieces of who he was.
And make sure you listen to the end, when Don shares what happened after the interview — including how he finally uncovered the identity of Rick’s biological father, a man with a criminal past straight out of an old newspaper headline.
🎧 Listen to Missing Pieces — NPE Life
Stories of DNA surprises, NPE discoveries, donor conception, adoption, and the people left to make sense of family secrets.
