Jamie & Frannie's Story

Send us Fan MailHello, I’m Stacy, the host of Mothers, Lies and DNA Surprises Podcast. Thank you for being here.   On today’s episode you will hear Jamie, the oldest sister and Frannie, the youngest sister share their DNA surprise story, a perspective we don’t hear often.They will share how their Mother always told them that their Grandma (otherwise known as Graham Cracker) was the “knower of all, teller of none” and now they know why.  They tell us how they are so grateful that their Grandma has been able to share her memories to help, even if a little bit, answer some questions, that their mother is not open to talking about.They both agree that they could have a good relationship with their mother if she allowed herself to be honest and vulnerable but she can’t or won’t.What I loved about my conversation with Jamie & Frannie is the amount of love they have for their new sibling, and I hope that others who hear their story will learn and realize how the openness towards a new family member can make all the difference.And also, when we read, hear or learn about DNA surprises we don’t always remember there are children of, siblings of adoptees, Donor conceived persons or NPEs that are also affected deeply by the lies! They will share some great advice on how to take care of ourselves during this journey including not to carry the shame of our mothers.Thank you again Jamie & Frannie for sharing your story with us and your point of view as the siblings of a brother who was lost to adoption!If you would like to connect with Jamie and/or Frannie please email me at [email protected] Music is "Drown in your Lies" by NoxAwake via Pixabay
