Frank About Health - Searching For One’s Identity after Adoption

The audience will learn about the traumatic journey undertaken by Janet Sherlund which she writes about in her book Abandoned At Birth. She talks about her adoption and the process of searching for her own identity. Her book illustrates perfectly the subheading: "Searching for the Arms That Once Held Me. In Abandoned at Birth, Janet Sherlund explores the inherent need adopted children have for a sense of belonging and the pain and courage that is required to discover their true identity. Janet Sherlund will explore with Karen and I the complex issues so many adoptees and their parents deal with including the emotions of rejection, loss, grief, denial and shame. The book reveals the pain and courage required to discover one's true identity. In honor of Mental Health Awareness month, I bring Karen Ross to co host this in-depth discussion of Janet's story. The intention is to provide a pathway to others who are seeking the answers to those same questions that develop when you are a child of adoption.
