It is our honour to welcome Deanna Shrodes to the podcast. Deanna and I talk about her decades-long reunion with her biological mother and her mother’s heartbreaking promise to take her birthfather’s name to the grave. We hear about her lengthy DNA search and the challenging feelings that come along with more questions than answers. Deanna is a pastor and so, of course, we touch on adoption and the church and the literal ways Deanna is demonstrating what family preservation looks like.
