The Search For Identity

Welcome to another impactful episode of our podcast! Today, we have the pleasure of introducing Janet Sherlund, a remarkable individual whose life story is both heart-wrenching and inspiring. Janet dedicated her life to raising her family and serving on nonprofit boards in education, health, and the cultural arts. However, her journey truly began with a profound life event: being given up for adoption at birth. This experience left her feeling as though she was living a "borrowed life," affecting her sense of trust and self-worth.

In her memoir, "Abandoned at Birth," Janet delves into her lifelong quest to find her biological mother, hoping to finally feel a sense of belonging and connection. Her book is more than just a personal achievement; it raises awareness about the complexities of adoption, loss, and grief, highlighting that it takes more than love to heal from such trauma.

Janet's resilience and dedication to her cause are truly commendable. A graduate of Colgate University, she now lives on the beautiful island of Nantucket with her husband of 45 years. Listen in as we dive into Janet's compelling story and explore the themes of identity, family, and self-discovery. This is an episode you won't want to miss.
