Sue (Late Discovery - Part One)

Imagine discovering that you're adopted as an adult. This disclosure might come following the death of an adoptive parent, by accident, when approached by a biological family member, while applying for a passport, finding adoption papers or during a family argument. These are just some of the ways late discoverers have found out the truth. Over two episodes, we'll be unpacking late discovery adoption. In this episode we speak to Sue about her experience of discovering she was adopted at the age of twenty-three, during a family disagreement and how writing has helped her process her experience. This episode discusses adult themes and listener discretion is advised. Visit www.jigsawqueensland.com for more information about adoption issues or for notes about this episode.
