In this episode kicking off Season Two, Sarah and Louise discuss Chapter One  of  “Journey of The Adopted Self” by Betty Jean Lifton and then they speak to Matt Lawson.As early as he could comprehend it, Matt had always known he was adopted – but he never had the desire to find his birth parents. That is until the birth of his only daughter brought more questions than answers about his health and ancestry. When he received his adoption paperwork from the State of Wisconsin, he discovered that his birth father was never told of the pregnancy.  That started 20 + years of searching to finally find the answers he was looking for.Here's our affiliate link for Buzzsprout:  When you sign up, you get a $20 Amazon Gift card.And if you want to support our show, you can go to our Patreon Page.Thank you to our current Patreon donors for their support.  They are: Laura Christensen, Barbara Frank, Ramona Evans, Linda Pevac, Blonde Records, Denise Cruz-Castino, Daphne Keys, Denise Hewitt, Michelle Styles, Emily Sinagra, Linda David, Eric David, Beth Figuls and Ron Schneider.Support the show
