For decades, I carried the "missing piece" that many adoptees know. Then, in my late 40s and 50s, I found and established relationships with family I never knew. While this reunion was profound, it also came with a complex grief: the loss of the family I haven't found, especially on my father's side. I also know the unique struggle of parenting without a blueprint—raising my own children with questions about my heritage. I've learned how to cope with the voids, establish new adult family bonds, and manage the dual emotions of joy and lingering emptiness. I'm here to support you through your own search, reunion, and the complicated emotions that follow.
