Adoptees Aloud: Louise and Linda (Traveling Together Through Trauma), recorded 1 February 2026.

Описание: This is a recording (audio only) of the talk adoptee Louise and her first (birth) mother Linda gave together to a group of adoptees and mothers.

They host a monthly support group for adoptees and first families, which you can find via Traveling Together Through Trauma on Eventbrite.

"We found one another through DNA because of closed records in the state of my adoption. We spent the last 5 years attending as many support groups as we could to learn about the other’s experience and to find support for ourselves. As we interacted with hundreds of adoptees and birth parents we heard commonality in stories and experiences. We built a stronger bond and connection by being honest and open and doing the work. In 2024 we wanted to give back to the community that has helped us and in November of 2024 we created Traveling Together Thru Trauma to find a way to bring both halves together of the same trauma. We recognized that there wasn’t a space for those who wanted to learn more about adoption and how to support their person (adoptee or birth parent). We had met spouses, siblings and others who didn’t have a support option and we wanted to create that for them. We now have grandparents, significant others, siblings and others join our group from around the world."
