Shelley: Her Self-Discovery Led to Lasting Peace
S5, Ep. 11: Shelley
Shelley Jean is a baby scoop-era domestic adoptee born in 1970. She was in foster care for about 2 months before being adopted. She always knew she was adopted but didn’t think about it very often until her adoptive mother passed away. At the age of 48, Shelley started on her journey of self-discovery. She now has a hard time imagining her life before searching. The journey has had many ups and downs, but Shelley is content to finally know her own story.
Also in this episode, Sarah and Louise discuss The Baby Thief by Barbara Bisantz Raymond.
