Lauren is an intelligent, eloquent woman, wife and mother. She was also adopted as an infant in a closed adoption. On today's episode, we explore the complexities and questions that come with being adopted, even in the most adoption competent families.
Now an adult with a child of her own, Lauren discusses how the curiosity factor of her biological identity and origin story has come and gone over the years with different life events, and how it does make her family just a little bit different, even if it doesn't appear that way at first glance from the outside.
Lauren says, “You're trying on different pieces of your personality. As you're figuring out who you are as an adoptee, even in the most wonderfully adoptive home, there's still the question of ‘well there's still this part of me that's not really isn't like any of you, I wonder who that comes from. And I think that’s just natural as we’re going through that period of self discovery.”
