The Family Tree

My apologies for our break last week! I got a wicked cold and was unable to record. I'm glad to be back, and discussing family trees. This particular episode discusses genealogy from the perspective of an adoptee. Melissa shares her personal experience diving into her genealogical history, highlighting the challenges and importance of understanding one's roots. The episode underscores the impact of family stories and the profound sense of loss adoptees can feel when disconnected from their biological history. Through anecdotes and reflections, she explores the transformative power of uncovering one's ancestry, the societal shifts influencing family dynamics, and the modern tools available for genealogical research. As always, follow my writing on Medium.com and my website: www.melissacorrigan.com Thank you for listening! ~m
