Exclusive Interview: Josie Adams Reveals Untold Secrets Behind We Thought They’d Never Leave with Tony Shalhoub
MDH: It really is.
JA: I identify strongly as an adoptee, and I think it gives perspective into my life, where I am the daughter of a very successful beloved actor, but I almost wasn’t. There’s a lot in my dad’s story of his father coming over from Lebanon and there was an alternate possibility of how that could have gone. For me, there was also an alternate possibility of how my life could have gone, and I am very interested in that. Even though I’m adopted, my dad and I didn’t discuss having more stories about me and my sister — who is also adopted — in the book. The book isn’t about us. It’s about his whole family, and remembering the best moments of the relationships he had with members of his family. My adoption story is my own story, and I am working on my own memoir.
