Carol Janousek shares her story of being adopted at birth and then in her late 50’s finding her birth family.  Not only that, but our host Carol Chiarito also shares her story as the two met and became “facebook friends” in a group there for adoptees.  

Mrs. Janousek’s story has all sorts of twists and turns as she shares even more about her own children and we have a special treat from her husband Larry at the end!  

If you are adopted and ever considered searching for your birth family, this podcast might give you some ideas on how to get started, as well as the “permission” that it is OK to wonder about your roots.  

If you have adopted children, you also may find ideas here on how to support them through their thoughts and questions about their history.
