Amanda Medina - This Adoptee Life
Empowering Adoptees to Heal and Thrive from Within
Welcome to This Adoptee Life
This Adoptee Life is a space dedicated to adult adoptees ready to move beyond anger and fear, rediscover their identity, and find lasting peace and freedom. What began as a blog to unpack my own story as an adoptee has grown into a community where healing takes center stage.
Here, we focus on building connections through open, honest conversations and shared experiences. Our mission is to provide resources, workshops, and educational materials that empower adoptees to create love, safety, and belonging—starting from within.
You’re not alone in this journey. We can heal together.

There's POWER in Your Story...
Find your VOICE, find yourSELF, find your HOME!
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, and know that you have my support, as well as the support of a community of fellow adoptees, and non-adoptees who are here to listen and learn.
Empowerment
Embracing our worthiness for love, peace, and joy. It means honoring our experiences while creating a life that feels whole. Together, we’ll move toward inner peace and the freedom to thrive.
Validation
Acknowledging the weight of our experiences and knowing that our feelings are real and worthy of respect. Together, we’ll embrace the truth of our stories and give ourselves permission to heal.

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.
