Our guest this episode is Shayna Landry, a forensic genealogist and private investigator a.k.a. DNA detective.

Shayna shares her experience finding her birth father via DNA, and how she uses that discovery to help others on their adoption/found family journies.
“Every time I’m able to give someone their answers, it cures a little piece of my broken heart,” Shayna said. I cry with my clients; I laugh with my clients. Most times, we walk away with a friendship. Everyone is on an island and friends and family don’t understand.
