CHANGE

Change. Change can be so beautiful, but very difficult. The past six months, I started my journey to find my birth family. Not only did I find both my mother and father. I found many other family members. When I found my parents it was extremely exciting, but honestly, it brought up so many different […]

WHAT IF IM NEVER FOUND

Throughout my entire life I have wondered about my birth family. I have always gravitated towards my birth mom. I long to know who this woman is, the woman that gave me life. I want to know every little detail about her. I wonder if I ever cross her mind. I wonder if she had […]

HIS CHILDREN

In the busyness of life, I find it easy to feel as though I am losing myself. Although I am doing things I enjoy, such as hanging out with my best friend or working, which is really all I’ve done this summer, I still feel incredibly lost. I have all these distractions around me constantly. If […]

WHAT LONELINESS DRIVES US TO DO

GRIEF AND GIFTS

Today it truly hit me, adoption is the best gift I have. It’s not a gift that has a perfect bow and can’t wait to open, but it is a gift. I met with my friend Maggie today. Our conversation opened my mind up to many realizations about grief, my gifts, and how blessed I […]

LOVING YOUR BIRTHPARENTS

Loving our birthparents can be so hard. I do not really know anything about my birthparents, so I will not be talking about if you do because that’s just not my story. One thing I do know is that my birth mom was in and out of the hospital. Throughout my life, I’ve struggled with […]
