A Journey of Identity, Hope & Healing for Adoptees
Welcome to This Adoptee Life
This Adoptee Life is a platform dedicated to adult adoptees who are ready to move beyond anger and fear, rediscover their true identity, and find lasting peace and freedom.
What began as a personal blog to unpack my own story as an adoptee has grown into a heartfelt community where healing takes center stage—and where faith is the foundation.
Our mission is to provide resources, workshops, and educational materials that empower adoptees to find love, safety, and belonging—not just in this world, but in the truth of who they were created to be.
Here, we honor every step of the journey. We believe that healing is possible, and that identity runs deeper than biology or circumstance. Lasting peace comes when we begin to understand who we are created to be.
You’re not alone in this. We were never meant to walk this road by ourselves.
There is hope. There is healing. We can journey on together.

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.
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."
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.
