Episode Details

Lisa was born in 1958 and grew up in Franklin, Indiana.  She was the youngest of two, both of which were adopted.  As far back as she can remember, she always knew she was “chosen”

With no real information to go on, after submitting her DNA and no close family hits, her husband spent hours putting together a family tree in which we were able to identify her biological father.  She thinks they have her biological mother identified, but have not tried to make contact.

She now lives in the St. Louis Missouri area and has two fabulous children and a grandson.  She also has a bonus, children, and grandchildren. She loves to see.  She currently works as a software consultant but is on the verge of retiring.  She also has two Bernedoodles that keep her very active.

Finding this podcast has finally helped her feel that she is definitely not alone!
