Coaching for Adoptees & Consulting for Those Who Walk With Them

Welcome to This Adoptee Life
A space for healing, identity, and rediscovery.

What started as a personal blog to process my own story has grown into something far greater—a space where adoptees can not only feel seen, but truly supported in their healing journey. Today, This Adoptee Life is the home of my one-on-one coaching and consulting services, created for adult adoptees who are ready to move beyond survival—and into peace, confidence, and purpose.

Through personalized coaching sessions, I walk alongside adoptees who are feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure of who they are. Together, we gently unpack the layers, make sense of the pain, and begin the journey toward freedom—grounded in truth, and rooted in love.

If you’re looking for someone who understands the depth of adoption’s impact and who will hold space for your story while guiding you forward with grace and clarity—you’re in the right place.

Faith  has become he foundation of my own healing, and it’s woven into everything I offer—always optional, always invitational.

You were never meant to figure it all out alone. Healing is possible. Identity is within reach. And freedom is calling.

Let’s walk this journey together.

Certifications

Your story can help someone...

Sharing your story can help others know they are not alone...

When I first started exploring and sharing my adoptee story, I realized I wasn’t alone. I found community and fellow adoptees, who made me feel seen, heard, accepted, and loved.

This Adoptee Life was built on, shaped around, and will always stay connected to my dream of offering fellow adoptees that same experience.

Share your adoptee story on This Adoptee Life Blog, or This Adoptee Life Podcast. Healing happens when we can release guilt, shame, make sense of our selves, and move towards love and truth.

LOVE

Love is the light that illuminates our path, gently healing and guiding you towards wholeness. Embrace it fully, and let it reveal our strength and resilience, transforming struggles into steps toward deeper connections. Love makes healing possible.

TRUTH

No matter our circumstances, this profound truth remains: we are created to live enveloped in love and driven by purpose. We can let this belief guide us towards a fulfilling and meaningful life. In loving truth, we can find a life in peace.

SUPPORT

Your support helps adoptees find healing, connection, and freedom. Whether it’s a one-time or monthly contribution. Your support helps the mission of This Adoptee Life.

You don't have to do this alone!

About me

"It took love to build safety. It took courage to find confidence. It took looking within to meet my authentic self. And, now I am committed to helping others do the same."

This Adoptee Life Adoptee Voice ADoptee Healing

Coming out of the fog (unpacking my own adoption) was by far the hardest thing I have ever done. It broke me to the core, and I had to let part of myself die off. I wasn’t ready for that, and at one point I didn’t see how I would ever be the same again…

And, today I smile from the heart, I feel safe and loved, by others, but more importantly by myself. I understand myself, my own emotions, and my emotions about my emotions, and I am able to not just push things away, but welcome it all. The good, the bad, and everything in between. Some days it’s easier than others, but the overall trajectory is moving upwards and forward, and I am grateful for the people who have been my mentors, my role models, and my support along the way. Because I have sat in the darkness, the brokenness, the anger, the pain, the desperation, and the fear, I want to bring hope and let you know that you are not alone. I see you. Let’s connect and work together, toward healing, safety, and confidence.

“This Adoptee Life was born out of my own process of coming out of the fog. Now, I want to help others, by providing hope, love, and support. ”

Amanda from This Adoptee Life was one of the few people there for me when I came out of the fog. She supported and was able to understand where I was coming from without judgement but with compassion and love. Amanda is a sweet person who is there for you 100% of the time you need her.

The path of unraveling the feelings and emotions of being an adoptee is a lifelong process. It can be confusing and isolating. I am so thankful that Amanda came into my life when she did and banded with me as we walked through the fog together. In a moments time I found someone who was safe and non judge mental and allowed me to feel and express any emotion or thought that bubbled up. While I had no choice in becoming an adoptee I surely had the choice of who I could share this journey with and I am so thankful that I chose Amanda as my wingman! Forever Grateful! ❤️
Amy Hunter, transnational adoptee
Amanda from This Adoptee Life is definitely putting the magnifying glass on such an important issue of adoption. I my self am not an adoptee, but with all of the wisdom of Amanda's story I have learned much more on how to navigate through it, educating myself on such an important topic. The way she conveys her story with such passion…it feels so relatable that it has helped not only learn about adoption but it has helped me with my own challenges regarding family. Her gentleness on how to approach it all is like no other. If you choose to work with her, you won't regret it.
