Lynn Grubb felt fairly comfortable growing up as an adoptee. Then, when she became an adult she got curious and decided she wanted to find her birth family. The process wasn’t smooth for her and she learned a lot along the way. Now that she has discovered where she came from she offers advice to others who are seeking their past. Lynn also gives back to children in foster care by volunteering as a Guardian ad Litem, known in some areas as CASA. Find out more about doing DNA searches and volunteering with foster care in this podcast episode.
