Customer Reviews
Thank You Julie and Rich!
I love this podcast. Oddly I only found it at the beginning of the pandemic and binge-listened. It was absorbing and helped blunt the impact of all of the insanity. Anyway - now I am caught up and eagerly await each new episode. As an adoptee the topic really resonates with me. I love how sensitive and kind Julie and Rich are and their banter (and as the mother of a musical theater kiddo I love the musical references). ♥️
Hits close to home
Love the show. My parent was adopted. While searching for her parentage, I discovered that I was an NPE. It’s been a DNA rabbit hoke of secrets. The tips and tricks have helped uncover so much, and the stories help process the discoveries.
I am an NPE and enjoy this podcast
Julie understands the emotions that come with DNA discoveries. I feel honored that she allowed me to share a part of my story on the show. I thank her for her work with this podcast and with her work as a genetic genealogist, as it is SO very needed. Thank you Julie!
Much Support,
