What’s it like to live 36 years knowing you’re disconnected to your biological identity? Damon Davis knew he was adopted and “was perfectly comfortable with it.” He's Black American, as were his adoptive parents Veronica and Willie and therefore, his adoptive status was only revealed at will. He had a great upbringing and didn't search out his birth parents. Until a couple of factors led him to that search when he was 36. The impact on his identity from this search, and what prompted it, is one of meaning each soul yearns to understand.
Bio
Damon Davis is the host of the "Who Am I Really?" podcast (www.whoamireallypodcast.com) where adopted people share their stories of adoption and their attempt to find their birth families. He has interviewed nearly 200 adoptees from an array of life experiences from awful adoptions and amazing reunions to inspiring adoptions and unfortunate reunions.
In his autobiography "Who Am I Really? - An Adoptee Memoir" Damon shares his journey to becoming an adoptive parent and his emotions over the birth of his son, Seth. He opens up about the heartbreak of grappling with his adoptive mother's mental illness while balancing the joy of locating his birth mother working nearby. His journey took a twist when he located his biological father via DNA testing.
