In March I was grateful to have the opportunity to be a guest on April Fallon's Podcast Adoption Now. I shared my story of being adopted and what it was like to have an open adoption, with extensive contact with my birth parents. I'm hopeful that sharing my story will help others explore their own adoption story, understand the experiences of loved ones, and learn to navigate the dichotomies that are inherent in adoption.

Adoption was one major catalyst for my personal and spiritual growth.

For some people, this contrast becomes deeply rooted during fall and winter, resulting in seasonal depression that clears in the spring.
