Adoption can happen at any stage of childhood depending on the circumstances. My journey began hours after birth when I was relinquished to…wait for it...I don’t know.

Right here is the start of what I call my life gap. The space in time where it appears as if I didn’t even exist on earth. There are no pictures capturing my growth month-by-month, no readily available paperwork on the close of my adoption nor a nice sweet letter with non-identifying information.

All of these missing items might seem unimportant to some, but quite honestly they allow me to add another piece back to the fragmented me.

Collecting the fragments of me to put back into a whole person is the best justification I have for searching and unapologetically asking questions. As it is the answers provided which will assist in closing my life gap.

Find your people, cherish your people and love your people!
