EP141: Heather Sachs

In this episode, Heather Sachs courageously dives into the issues surrounding adoption loss. Here are her words:  I am adopted and see myself as a disrupter as well. The more we put our stories out there, the more we can change the narrative to being adoptee focused! I was adopted at two when my mother relinquished me to her then boss. Like many others, I didn’t even know that adoption/relinquishment was trauma until a therapist told me so. Only at that point was I able to start the journey reparenting myself enough to heal some of my abandonment wounds. I’ve subsequently became passionate about genealogy as a means to help adoptees establish the roots they have felt they are missing all their lives. I’ve found creating biological family trees can help adoptees remember that despite their mother and fathers inability to keep their family together, they still are made up of numerous ancestors DNA and stories. I love to help them find those stories. Click here to send us a text. Also, our book “Pulled By The Root” is available at https://www.pulledbytheroot.com/book https://www.pulledbytheroot.com/
