S2E65 INTERVIEW WITH ADOPTEE DANA OZAK

***This podcast may contain triggering content about adoption.*** Dana was born at St. John’s Hospital in Cleveland in 1973. She was adopted through Catholic Charities in November of 1973. Her adoption was never kept a secret from her, but she still wondered where she came from. She was able to find her biological mother’s name after the state of Ohio released her OBC (Original Birth Certificate). Sadly, she also found out her biological mother had passed away and there was no birth father listed. The journey to find her biological father and uncover the truth about her past would send her through a roller coaster of emotions. Ultimately, it led her to positive connections with her younger maternal half- sister, biological father, and four younger half-brothers.
