Searching 101- Lisa Robinson

INDIANA ADOPTEE NETWORK NEWS

Lisa Robinson is an adoptee and a Birth Family Searcher who specializes in California. After hitting so many brick walls in her own search Lisa reached out to The Search Guru, and adopted mother, Colleen Buckner. Colleen was able to put all the puzzle pieces together and reunited Lisa with her birth mother the very next day. That day just happened to be her birth mothers 50th birthday. Lisa is studying to be a Professional Genealogist and speaks regulary atadoption conferences throughout the country. She is a member of AmericanAdoption Congress (AAC), Concerned United Birth parents (CUB), National Genealogy Society and several other organizations. She contributes her time and advice writting a bimonthly column about searching for birth family with Adoption Today magazine. Currently Lisa is working on a fictional novel based on her own experiences of being the searcher and the searchee. When she is not searching and reuniting she can be found working part-time at a local winery in the beautiful county of San Luis Obispo, California where she resides with her husband Loshel and their four furry rescues.
