Adoptees & Divorce

Happy Conception Day

Welcome to my first blog post on MyAdoptedLife. I thought it would be fitting to begin this blog on the 43rd anniversary of my conception, which occurred on my birth mother’s 20th birthday.

Above is my reunion video with my birth father which has received more than 200K plus views on YouTube. He learned at age 69 that he had conceived a child (me) when he was 27 years old.

This is a video I made for my brother Bart's recent birthday.
