Randy knew since childhood he was adopted and in his late teens his parents helped him start the journey of finding his birth family. On the cusp of the internet as we know it and well before DNA testing was popular, Randy found who he was looking for.
In this episode Randy shares:
The point in his life when his parents thought he needed to know his birth familyWhat it meant to him to connect with family and cultureHow knowing his past gave him an anchor and sense of belonging that gave him a sense of direction
About Randy:
Randy was born in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, and was raised in and around Toronto, Ontario. Adopted at a young age, Randy started trying to discover where he came from fairly young, not very successfully. It wasn't until after finishing high school things started coming together and in 2000 Randy found his birth mother and her family. Ever since then Randy has been discovering bits and pieces of the family tree, and most recently completing a DNA Ancestry kit.
