A Stranger's Blood Carries a Mother Home: The Sandra Holt Reunion

A single line in an adoption file - "the mother had not survived the delivery" - convinced Sandra Holt for twenty-two years that the woman who birthed her was dead. A faded white bassinet found in a storage unit and a rare blood type registered in a reunion database would eventually reveal that the record was wrong; how did a wrong sentence erase an entire reunion for decades?

In this episode, we follow the chain of small, exact details that connected a fourth-grade teacher who logged every insulin dose for her cat with a sixty-one-year-old woman who had never stopped wondering. Listen to how a donation at a Portsmith blood drive and a database entry - not a DNA match - reopened a life-long search and raised the question: what happens when an official record lies about your origins?
