Adoption Deconstructed

60 year old adoptee from closed records era; have found and reunited with much of my natural family but still struggling with identity issues, etc.

I am an adult who was relinquished for adoption at 5 days old. Old fashioned closed adoption. Searched and found my family at age 48.

A community of adoptee advocates, educators + healers working to empower adoptees across all walks of life.

This Substack is about my emergence from the shadow of hidden origins and repressed emotions stemming from being raised in a closed adoption.

I'm a retired teacher finally writing my own stories.
