About Who Am I Really?
Adoptees telling their own stories of life in adoption, their search for their birth family, and how their reunion attempt turned out. Stories that make you laugh, cry, or simply say "wow". This podcast has two purposes: 1) To help you explore your own feelings about your adoption, accept your desire understand your own personal history, and decide for yourself whether reunification with your biological relatives is right for you. It will help you understand how others have dealt with issues related to protecting the feelings of their adopted families who may be supportive of your search, or question your motives and present challenges. 2) For non-adoptees, this podcast will help you understand some of what is in the minds of your friends, family members, or others who are adopted. Perhaps you had questions for them but you didn’t know if you should ask. The stories will make you smile or bring you to tears, but they’re all true as told by the people who lived them. In them, I hope you’ll find something that inspires you, validates your feelings about wanting to search, or motivates you to have the strength along your journey to learn “Who Am I Really?”

Published 3 Jan 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] So another thing though that I would love to just think about in terms of Your mom, your birth mother is along those lines that if she had the Mad Men scenario, we're not going to talk about this anymore. Her parents probably said that. I've interviewed several birth mothers on the show and they've talked about this piece. that they were not allowed to explore their emotions, continue any train of thought. There was nobody to discuss it with. I spoke to a woman who said that she called herself the Turtle Lady because she collected a lot of turtles and that she had... maintained her secret for so long that she realized she was the turtle, that she had this hard outer shell and she was hiding her story.
