Finding Family

Season 7 Episode 5 | 26m 14s

While some families are tied together by biology, others are created when people welcome children into their hearts and homes through adoption. Betsy helps her son make contact with his birth mother; Dan describes being smuggled out as an infant from Mexico; and Paul's relationship with his mom takes a twist when he adopts a baby boy. Three storytellers, three interpretations of FINDING FAMILY.

Aired: 12/03/23
Stories from the Stage is a collaboration of WORLD Channel and GBH. In partnership with Tell&Act.
