She brought a photo album. I brought anxiety and emotional facial-recognition software.

In this episode of Still Standing with Diane Six, Diane shares the story of meeting her biological mom and siblings - and the unexpected moment when a family photo album became an identity scavenger hunt.

Instead of simply seeing birthdays, holidays, and family memories, Diane found herself searching for resemblance: eyes, nose, mouth, familiar expressions, and any clue that might help her understand where her face came from. What started as a nervous first meeting became a deeper reflection on adoption, identity, biological family, and the truth that finding answers does not have to replace the life you already lived.

This episode is for anyone who has ever searched for belonging, wondered where they came from, or realized that sometimes the missing piece is not a replacement - it is context.
