director’s statement

Not knowing why I was placed for adoption stays present in my heart and mind. Yet, a great gift came from this: a chance for a new life. 

I hope this video helps other adoptees, birth parents, adoptive parents and people who live with unresolved feelings around adoption embrace the fact that they are enough. 

By healing my own emptiness I am able to release shame and allow true acceptance of my birth mother's decision to connect and free both of us. 

My birth mom’s greatest act of love was to let me go.

I will never know what it means to lay in a hospital bed, birth a child and leave the building empty-handed. This is me trying to understand––and choose––what adoption means to me.  

Sometimes the repercussions of our actions take lifetimes to process and understand.  			

This is an offering—to remind others they are not alone and to give voice to the question so many carry quietly: “Why wasn’t i good enough?”
