This Adoptee Life

As a fellow adoptee, it is wonderful to hear these stories on this podcast. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

I have never really opened up about my story to very many people. It gives me courage to hear you and your words. Your manner is very calming as I tend to sound anxious when I talk about my experience. My children hear me yet I don’t think they are listening- maybe people don’t listen due to not being able to relate - they know their birth stories, their birth families but the few people I have opened up to seem to react in a way that puzzles me- that I should be grateful that I was adopted, chosen, or whatever word they use to fill in the blank. That’s the key word for me - blank- I relate that to my adoptee experience since I feel I had no existence for the first few years of my life. My life was just blank. Anyways, thank you for giving us a platform. I wish you much success with the podcast!
