S3E5 - WHEN TALKING ABOUT YOUR ADOPTION IS TABOO. INTERVIEW WITH ADOPTEE DAVID LANG
Manage episode 398318891 series 3456089
David is a 62-year-old retired Teamster that has been married for 37 years. He has three children and one grandson.
David was a baby scoop era adoptee, born in 1961 and placed with his adopted parents when he was one month old. Talking about his adoption was totally off limits, and this created a lot of confusion about his roots.
He began searching when he was 34 years old. It turned out his biological parents did get married and were still together. They seemed less than thrilled that David contacted them because David had been kept a secret from everyone in his biological family.
It wasn’t until his biological father died in 2017 that the secret was finally revealed, and he was able to have a relationship with his full biological siblings and extended family.
