Description

Raised in the New York foster care system, Kevin Giddins knew his biological mother's name but not much else.  But, an AncestryDNA test led him to her doorstep and an extraordinary reunion.  His daughter Camlyn, caught the whole thing on film.The three of us have a meaningful conversation about the essence of these family relationships and the roles they play in shaping who we are. We delve into the spiritual lessons learned and the impact that understanding our ancestors can have on our personal narratives going forward.When uncovered, hidden family history can turn into powerful shared stories that move us from being 'secret keepers' to 'story keepers.'_______________________________________________Please rate and review this podcast and then share it with your family and friends.For ideas on how to connect more deeply with your family through family stories, follow Crista on Instagram @CristaCowan.
