***This podcast may contain triggering content about adoption.***

Dana was born at St. John’s Hospital in Cleveland in 1973. She was adopted through Catholic Charities in November of 1973. Her adoption was never kept a secret from her, but she still wondered where she came from.

She was able to find her biological mother’s name after the state of Ohio released her OBC (Original Birth Certificate). Sadly, she also found out her biological mother had passed away and there was no birth father listed.

The journey to find her biological father and uncover the truth about her past would send her through a roller coaster of emotions. Ultimately, it led her to positive connections with her younger maternal half- sister, biological father, and four younger half-brothers.

Due to the LONG-LASTING EMOTIONAL FALLOUT that can be part of adoption, I highly support the GENTLE HEALING SUPPORT of SMGI: Somatic Mindful Guided Imagery. For more information on this groundbreaking and highly successful method, go to ⁠https://www.somatichealingjourneys.com⁠


Please seek professional help if you find yourself struggling with some of the realizations that you may experience during this episode.


This podcast's mission is on adoption education. If you have an expertise that you think would be beneficial to anyone touched by adoption and would like to be on the podcast, get in touch with me.
