As part of our "In My Experience" series highlighting the personal stories of our listeners, we talk with a panel of people who are adopted. We'll hear about their process in searching for their identity and, in some cases, looking for and meeting their birth parents. And we'll hear the experiences of our listeners.

Host: Michael Krasny

Guests:

  • Janelle McCormack, born in Vietnam in 1973 and adopted by a Caucasian family 13 months later
  • Laura Callen, adoptee who reunited with her birth mother and father when she was 32
  • Sarah Bernat, adoptee born in 1979 who later searched for her birth mother and found she had recently died
  • Sean Ramsey, adoptee who later found his birth mother and father and now has a relationship with both
