It takes a really long time to build a relationship where somebody can explain something like that. I interviewed a woman who, she was adopted. She wasn't told she was adopted.

When she finally did find out the identity of her biological father, she reached out to him a number of ways. He was not terribly responsive. And then she finally called and got him on the phone. And he was so dismissive. He could not at all give her what she wanted. He would not even confirm that he knew for sure that she was his daughter or that he'd even dated her mother. Wow.

And the facts were right there on the screen. So she knew it was him. She cried a lot when we spoke. And it was because she had these questions that could not be answered. The biological mother had passed away a few months before she discovered her identity. Wow. And the real question she wanted to ask her biological mom was, did you ever look for me? Did you ever think about me?

I want to see someone else whose face looks like mine. I want to see someone else whose eyes look like mine. I want to have the experience of looking... And seeing myself, the way I see myself in a mirror, in somebody else. And if you're adopted, you may never have had that experience. It's profound.
