In this week’s episode, My Adoption Journey, author, journalist and broadcaster Caroline Clarke discusses her accidental discovery of and reunion with her birth mother–Cookie Cole, daughter of Nat King Cole–and its impact on her existing and newly expanded family.
Caroline tells this story in her memoir Postcards from Cookie, and in our conversation she reveals additional details not captured in the book, including an incredible update. She thoughtfully and candidly talks about the challenges she encountered on this journey. As she poignantly noted during this episode, “We tend to equate good with easy and bad with hard. But things can be really good and incredibly difficult. And this was one of those things”.
