'Heaven is the Feeling One Leaves on Earth.' Abandoned at Birth. Join me this week on Chatter that Matters for the heart-wrenching and uplifting story of Janet Sherlund, author of Abandoned at Birth: Searching for the Arms That Once Held Me. Janet discusses the profound effects of adoption on her identity and self-esteem, sharing her lifelong quest to reconnect with her birth parents and uncover who she is. I cried when Janet discovered her adoption details, celebrated her life-changing reunion with her birth father and was sickened by the coldness of her birth mother. I also learned about the critical importance of understanding one's biological roots. As the episode unfolds, Janet's courage, resilience, and the complexities of love and family will move you. Ending on hope and positivity, this conversation celebrates the bonds that tie us together and the enduring power of understanding where we come from.   This compelling episode will open your heart and touch your soul. 1.  My opening 2. : Reflections on the lessons from Janet's story, her adoptive and birth parents, and the powerful message about love and identity. My three takeaways.    To connect with Janet and to buy her book,   Abandonedatbirthbook.com
