Welcome Lauren J. Sharkey, author of Inconvenient Daughter! Lauren and I talk about how her memoir morphed into a novel and how searching for biological family wasn’t really something she thought about until it felt necessary as research for her novel. We also discuss how Lauren discovered the online adoptee community. <a href="https://www.adopteeson.com/listen/154">Full Show Notes Here</a> Connect With Us <ul> <li>Lauren J.

The podcast where adoptees discuss the adoption experience. This is not the usual adoption talk. You will find real, raw, and deep feelings addressed in these interviews. No sugar-coating here! Come and laugh, cry, learn and heal with us.

Adult adoptees share stories of search, reunion, and secondary rejection. Adoptees On also curates recommended resources to encourage and educate the adoption community about adoptee issues.
