For many years, Erica didn't have all of the answers. Since she was seven years old though, she was obsessed with finding every detail of her story: who her biological parents were, the details of her birth that weren't openly discussed, her real name, and why her original adoptive parents gave her back to be placed in foster care.

With charm and a likable lightheartedness, Erica recounts some of the most tragic moments of her life, as well how grateful she is to just be alive and to have been adopted.

In This Episode of ADOPTION NOW

  • What it was like for Erica to have a Japanese mother and Caucasian father.
  • The moment she first realized she was adopted.
  • On being Mormon and how that helped drive her search for her genealogical roots.
  • How she ended up getting the information about her adoption.
  • The challenges of searching for biological parents and the emotional response this can elicit from adoptive parents.
  • On cultural differences between siblings.
  • Erica meets her biological mother.
  • Her advice to listeners.
