S2E87 INTERVIEW WITH ADOPTEE JACK ROCCO, AUTHOR OF "RECYCLED"
Manage episode 381466467 series 3456089
Jack Rocco, M.D. has more than 30 years as a practicing orthopedic and cosmetic surgeon. His work has taken him to many countries and cultures, including to Japan, where he served in the U.S. Air Force, and to Madagascar, where, through a nonprofit organization he established, he helped treat hundreds of children with devastating orthopedic deformities, predominantly including club foot.
Recycled, his first book, chronicles the behind-the-scenes, reluctant, and subconscious journey exploring the impact of being relinquished and adopted during the baby-scoop era of the mid-sixties. As he eventually finds his birth families, he also finds himself. He maintains homes outside of Charlotte, North Carolina and Hartford, Connecticut.
