It’s not a story of perfect reunions or tearful embraces. It’s a story of searching—for truth, for identity, for belonging—and of what happens when the answers don’t come wrapped in comfort.

For years, I carried questions that no one could answer. I lived with feelings of rejection, of being unloved, unwanted, and invisible. I believed that if I could just find my birth family, everything would make sense. That the ache would ease. That I would finally feel whole.

But the truth I found didn’t heal me—it broke me.

This book is the story of that search. Of the highs and lows, the hope and heartbreak, the lies and revelations. It’s about what it means to be adopted, to be different, to be brave enough to ask the questions even when you fear the answers.

It’s also a story of survival.

Because despite everything, I’m still here. Still standing. Still telling the truth. And if you’re reading this—whether you’re adopted, searching, healing, or simply curious—I want you to know
