In the spring of this year I had mentioned to Jenni that I was very interested in the late-discovery aspect of adoption and that I wondered whether she would like to do an interview for the blog at some point. (Jenni noted during our conversation that if there were one to be said of the "good ladies of the home," it would be their meticulous record-keeping, which would prove to be very helpful to her in understanding her story. )Jenni was adopted shortly after birth by an Oklahoma couple with one (biological) son, aged 15. - The term refers to adoptees who discover their adoptive status in their adulthood. Jenni said she would be glad to. Our interview was a long, wonderful talk about her experience.
