Now, four years later, Hannah is starting to process feelings she tried to bury during her pregnancy. In this episode, she talks about the powerful biological bond she feels with her son, Marley — a bond she didn’t expect. She ponders the hard question: If she had had an abortion, would she still think of him today? Her answer is surprising — especially what she said about how a closed adoption, like she originally wanted, might have left her wondering about him every single day.

This conversation is raw, real, and full of heart. 💔💗

Be ready to be wowed by the insight of our youngest guest to date. 

Jaden is the son of Sara, who was on our first season. That makes him a second generation adoptee and we are so proud to have let him explore his version of trauma in adoption. 

He may only be 19 but we could all benefit from his story.
