MY GUEST:

Angie Grandt is an adoptive mom and mindset coach who is passionate about helping parents gain strategies to stop reacting to their child's behaviors and start responding with compassion and she knows personally how very hard this can be! Recently she's been digging deep into Human Design to better understand how to help parents be the best parenting version of themselves. 🙂

Donna is a transracial adoptee, born in the UK and raised there by a white family with lots of fostered children. While she was the only black child, all the children were from different backgrounds and were equally loved. While not emotionally close to her adoptive parents growing up, Donna has always felt their unconditional love. 

 

Trauma still came her way, and Donna thinks she may have had less trauma if she hadn't kept quiet about traumatic events that happened to her during childhood.



Donna has been slowly peeling the layers to her truth for 50 years. Learning to be a speaker led to her first talk about her adoption, and in 2020 she set up her Searching For Truth Podcast, doing interviews about various topics that touch on her own experiences.



Donna also wrote a short memoir called "Lost and Found," published in the anthology The New Woman by Ritu Sharma in 2021.

 

Now in Dominica with her husband and Son, Donna has experienced the most extraordinary challenges that she now believes are lined with incredible gifts for her healing and expansion.

Monique Pangari was born in Australia in 1972 at the height of the ‘Forced Adoption Era.’ Relinquished at birth and adopted at 6 weeks of age, she grew up in a family with two older adopted siblings.



As a result of this complex experience, along with the rollercoaster of FOUR ‘search and reunion’ journeys,
early pregnancy and parenting, and now estrangement from multiple family members, she has now ‘come out of the closet’ (again) to talk about the detrimental impacts of relinquishment.



Monique was driven to study psychology and psychotherapy to try to make sense of something no one was talking about. She has spent her 30-year career studying, integrating and
teaching others about the significance of relational attachment, the impacts of pre-verbal trauma, and family dynamics where relational attachment disruption has occurred.



Monique has worked with many adoptees, birth mothers and adoptive parents, both in a government-funded organization (PASQ) and in private practice. She specializes in mind-body
integration for addressing complex developmental trauma. She has also trained hundreds of professionals in expressive, symbolic and somatic trauma recovery processes.



Through her business, Healing Adoption Trauma, Monique offers therapy, consultation, supervision, online webinars,
and training for professionals — specifically for adoptees, their families and other providers working with this population. Her work centers on healing the pain of relinquishment trauma, family separation and cultural loss, with a special focus on the experiences and impact of mother-infant separation.



‘Adoptees Connect,’ a free monthly meeting for adult adoptees, is hosted and facilitated by Monique and her partner (also adopted) on the Sunshine Coast, Qld, Australia.
