“I Found My Birth Mother… But It Didn’t Heal Me. It Broke Me in a Different Way.”
In this powerful and honest episode, I explore the emotional reality behind adoption reunions — especially for adopted boys and men. We often imagine that finding our birth parents will bring closure, peace, or a sense of identity. But the truth can be far more complicated. What if your birth parent doesn’t remember things the same way? What if they don’t want to talk about the past? What if the answers you’ve been chasing leave you feeling even more lost?
This episode is for adopted men, adoptive parents, therapists, and anyone who’s been affected by adoption. I talk about the deep emotional impact of adoption, the unspoken grief, and the questions we rarely feel safe enough to ask out loud. If you’ve ever felt like something’s missing, or if you’re thinking about searching for your birth family — watch this first.
