Ruth Hale, an icon in Utah's theater world, always knew she was adopted. But, it wasn't until her grandson, actor Will Swenson, decided to take a DNA test at the urging of my producer, Lisa Elzey, that the mystery of her parentage had a hope of being solved.
And, you won't believe what we uncovered!
Listen in as Lisa and I share the story of sealed adoption records, scarce DNA matches, and a five year puzzle. Then, hear Will's reaction to the "cosmic" discovery we made about his grandmother's biological family.
This story isn't just about uncovering the past—it's about the profound connections and heartfelt moments that remind us why understanding our family stories can be so incredibly meaningful.
