GenFriends Genealogy Chat Show: Unpacking Relative Race Season 16 Day 9 with Callie and Thaddeus!

sh

The panel, Melissa Barker, Jenny Hawran, Laura Hedgecock, Mary Kircher Roddy, and I  welcome Season 11 winner Thaddeus and Season 12 winner Callie to help us unpack Relative Race Season 16 Day 9.

So much emotion on this last day of finding family. 

From the travails of the drive, getting soaked by a meteor shower, quotes from Candis, and meeting long-sought family and a newly named star, this was a fantastic Day 9. We'd also love to give a shout-out to Shauna, Jake, Danitra, and Andrea for the love and support shown throughout your loved one's journey.

Thank you to Dan and the entire Relative Race team for another season of uniting families. No one does it like you!

Why do YOU love this show?

We'd love to hear from you!

Poem Callie shared:

Legacy of an Adopted Child

Once there were two women

Who never knew each other.

One you do not remember,

The other one you call mother.

Two different lives

Shaped to make yours one.

One became your guiding star,

The other became your sun.

The first gave you life

And the second taught you to live it.

The first gave you a need for love

And the second was there to give it.

One gave you a nationality,

The other gave you a name.

One gave you a seed of talent,

The other gave you an aim.

One gave you emotions,

The other calmed your fears.

One saw your first sweet smile,

The other dried your tears.

One gave you up -

It was all that she could do.

The other prayed for a child

And God led her straight to you.

And now you ask me

Through your tears,

The age-old question

Through the years:

Heredity or environment

Which are you the product of?

Neither, my darling - neither,

Just two different kinds of love.
