Summary
What does it mean to grow up without a sense of who you are and where you come from?
Julie is adopted. She’s also a twin. Because their adoption was closed, she and her sister lack both a health history and their birth parents’ names - which becomes an issue for Julie when, at 48 years old, she finds herself facing several serious health issues.
Julie’s search for her birth relatives spans five years and involves a search agency, a PI, a confidential intermediary, a judge, an adoption agency, a social worker, and a genealogist. By journey’s end, what began as a simple desire for a family medical history has evolved into a complicated quest - one that unearths secrets, lies, and family members that are literally right next door.
Critic reviews
“Twice a Daughter is not just another tale of an adoptee's search for truth. This is a story about the discoveries that searching for the truth reveals, how it sets you free and offers the gift of love.” (Linda Joy Myers, founder of the National Association of Memoir Writers)

Inspiring.. uplifting...
Julie's determination not to give up and the joint efforts of the support figures are a brilliant example of the many challenges, victories and defeats adoptees and foster kids face in tracing their roots...and often, the results differ from expectations but can also add more joy than disappointment! An excellent listen...thanks
