In 2016, she began hosting the “Long Lost Family” show that aired on TLC Network, alongside Chris Jacobs. In an interview about the show, she said that the journey of reuniting with biological families is very empowering, and that is what she wanted other people looking for their families to understand.

In the interview, she disclosed that she had been championing for that kind of a show, as everyone needs some closure and some help to do so. Lisa feels that there are myths that still surround adoption, and they should be busted. Every adopted child should learn the story behind their situation, and decide who to call his or her family. According to Lisa, the “Long Lost Family” show is about forgiveness, empathy and hope, that people still have a chance to meet with their biological families and be able to fill that gap in their lives. It is all about second chances.
