274 –  If Anything More Was Supposed To Happen, It Would’ve Happened

Lauren, from southwest England in the UK, grew up knowing she was adopted and was loyal to her family, but applying to university and thinking through her life made her want to trace her roots. When she found her birth mother, she met a woman who started off chilly but warmed up when Lauren got to meet her parents, and Lauren learned that mother and daughter have something in common. Her birth father found her too, after Lauren sent a letter, but in the end she’s not connected to either side of her birth families, choosing to let things be as they are.

This is Lauren’s journey.

Nicole also shared her feelings about how adopted people invest in parenting our own children.
