Lisa Preston: DNA, Adoption & The Courage to Uncover Family Secrets

Show Notes - S3 Ep 32 (#116) This week Nicola and Di chat with the incredible Lisa Preston. Lisa has one of the most powerful and unforgettable stories that you won’t want to miss. As someone who was adopted at birth, we hear the epic tale of what it was like to search for her birth parents, and all of the twists and turns along the way. This is a story of love, belief, hope, belonging and determination. It’s so powerful that Lisa was asked to be a guest on the SBS show Insight, in an episode about adoption, and we were lucky enough to go into even more detail about the amazing moments from her life. We’re not going to spoil the story for you in these show notes, this really is an episode that will have you on the edge of your seat, but needless to say there were a lot of emotions shared in the studio that day. We went through highs and lows, shared laughter and tears and were deeply moved by what Lisa shared. We’re so grateful to Lisa for being so open and vulnerable with us, and letting others have a glimpse into the complex world of adoption. Above all, this is an uplifting story of what can be possible when you don’t give up, keep an open heart, have empathy for others and are determined to put the puzzle pieces of your life together. Lisa is a phenomenal storyteller and we absolutely loved having her in the studio with us. We hope you love this episode as much as we did.
