Family Twist is a podcast about finding lost family and astonishing adoption tales through the magic of DNA technology, genealogy and personal history. We started this journey with a singular goal: find Kendall’s birth family. But as our adventure continues, we find more friends, family members, acquaintances and complete strangers with stories to share. We can all learn from these stories and perhaps telling them and hearing them can help better shape our journeys - and those who are just embarking on similar journeys. Family Twist Podcast
