Episode Details

Erika called me from outside of Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Ericka and her older adopted brother were doing fine with their adoptive parents until the birth of their siblings created an unspoken split between the children.

In reunion, Erika's mother was an open book about her experiences as one of the girls who went away, while her adoptive mother was closed to the fact that Erika was actually related to her birth mother, subscribing to the blank slate mentality of the baby scope era.

Connecting with her birth father she found a man who always knew about her but didn't realize that he missed her until Erika returned.

This is Erika's journey.
