Genetic Sexual Attraction (GSA) can be a controversial and uncomfortable subject to broach, but we are exploring the topic today. Today Jane shares her personal experience of a GSA relationship with a sibling and Leslie Pate Mackinnon, LCSW brings her professional expertise to the topic. Some estimates are up to half of all adoptees in reunion feel some sort of attraction to a genetic family member, which Leslie believes is likely a search for attachment. We recommend where to go for support and we try to examine GSA in a safe way, without blame or shame. <a href="https://www.adopteeson.com/listen/s4e5Jane">Full Show Notes Here</a> Connect With Us <ul> <li>Haley Radke: <a href= "https://twitter.com/haleyradke">Twitter</a> | <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/haleyradke/">Instagram</a> | <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/haley.radke">Facebook</a></li> <li>Adoptees On: <a href= "https://twitter.com/adopteeson">Twitter</a> | <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/adopteeson/">Instagram</a> | <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/adopteesonpodcast">Facebook</a></li> </ul>   Subscribe <a href= "http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/adoptees-on/id1123372859">Apple Podcasts</a> | <a href= "https://goo.gl/app/playmusic?ibi=com.google.PlayMusic&isi=691797987&ius=googleplaymusic&link=https://play.google.com/music/m/Isnzt3yu7bxoxdxyowqbxvk7wam?t%3DAdoptees_On"> Google Play</a> | <a href= "https://www.iheart.com/podcast/263-Adoptees-On-Discover-28264488/"> iHeart Radio</a> | <a href= "https://open.spotify.com/show/6DHevAi3rn7SfugmlPBSKJ">Spotify</a> | <a href= "http://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=93562&refid=stpr">Stitcher</a> | <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkc4Ej6Go6AYLl3_T4H2sfw">YouTube</a> <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/events/1776935519281340/">Listener Meet-Up | Write or Die Class on May 20, 2018</a> Support Adoptees On <a href= "https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=N7YQ9MNDCCYFW"> One Time Donation</a> | <a href= "https://www.adopteeson.com/partner">Monthly</a> | <a href= "https://www.adopteeson.com/partner">Secret Facebook Group</a> Connect <a href="https://www.adopteeson.com/newsletter">Monthly Newsletter</a> | <a href="https://www.adopteeson.com/connect">Send a Note or Record a Voicemail</a>
