Not every adoption story is butterflies and rainbows. Adoption can be complicated, and every adoptee experiences their story differently.
But Meghan Breaux has a unique perspective: even in the complicated parts of adoption, there can be so much joy if we’re willing to look for it.
In this episode of Perfectly Placed, Meghan shares what it was like to grow up knowing she was adopted and to have a relationship with her birth mother throughout her childhood. She talks about the moment she cried for her birth mom and how her adoptive mother responded with the kind of love that made room for both relationships.
As Meghan grew older, she found her birth father and connected with her biological siblings. Then, when she became a mom herself, she began to understand her own adoption story in an even deeper way.
Meghan’s story is not meant to say that every adoption experience is easy. Instead, it offers a hopeful reminder that joy and complexity can exist at the same time, and that there are opportunities to feel love from even more people through adoption.
I hope Meghan’s perspective leaves you with a little more hope and a deeper understanding of the many ways an adoption story can unfold.
