Who better to launch with than the woman who helped me track down my father?
Adoptee rights advocate and search angel extraordinaire Annette O' Connell and I talk family searches, secondary rejection and the ecstasy of experiencing genetic mirroring.
Somehow I called her by her maiden name of Daly. Apologies!
Music by the inimitable Cassis Birgit Staudt.
