This is Why I was Adopted:
An Interactive Memoir For Adoptees
Adoptees! It’s time to tell YOUR story.
Why? It can feel overwhelming, sad, new, confusing, and risky to reflect on your adoption story. Especially if you feel like you’re starting from scratch, “unqualified,” or even unsupported. I made this 4-part series of workbooks for you.
How? It’s inspired by decades of conversations I’ve had with adoptees as well as Darla Henry’s 3-5-7 model for grieving loss and rebuilding relationships. I merge my own story and give you protected space to share, reflect on, and process yours.
Who? This is for youth, teens, adults and families on the adoption and permanency spectrum.
When? Parts I, II, and III have been released!
Part IV will be released Jan 31st, 2020.
Cost? $5 per workbook, or $15 to order the complete set.
Part I – Disruption
Part II – Identity Formation
Part III – Therapeutic Connection
It’s ok if you don’t like talking about adoption. Maybe it feels difficult or strange or uncomfortable? You don’t have to talk about it. You can think about it. Write about it. Organize your feelings about it. So that whether you choose to keep it to yourself or tell it to the world, it no longer stands in the background of your life as a mysterious unknown, but a newly understood feature that inspires and propels you toward good things, toward hope, toward belonging, toward true joy.
Order your interactive memoir here and you’ll receive instructions for download. We so look forward to walking together with you during this season of exploration!
