From the author's photo album

On The Point, author Janet Sherlund explores the complex issues many adoptees and their parents grapple with in her memoir "Abandoned at Birth: Searching for the Arms that Once Held me". For some, adoption can lead to feelings of rejection, loss, grief, denial, and shame- not just for the adoptee, but also for the biological and adoptive parents. Mindy Todd hosts.
