Ohio Adoptions Records One Year Later; St. Patrick's Day

It's been nearly a year since Ohio unsealed the records of 400,000 people adopted from 1964 to 1996. Thousands of adoptees have accessed birth certificates and other adoption records,  many reconnecting with birth families. We'll talk to two women about their recunions and hear from one whose journey continues. Plus, an Irishman shares his recipe for Shepherd's Pie, not corned beef, on St. Patrick's Day.
