S3E33: "Living in a Fog" x Sonia Morgan
"I know who I am, but I just want to know, where it actually started." - Sonia Morgan
Imagine finding a photo album that you’ve never seen before. The pictures are of you BUT the name on the book and photos is not your own. Hard to fathom, right? Our guest, Sonia Morgan lived this experience, and at age 27, her world is turned upside down when she confirms her lifelong feeling that “something’s not right.”
Sonia grew up in a loving home with her parents and older sister where she has fond childhood memories of playing outside, jumping rope, and playing jacks. She felt safe, secure, and had no reason to believe that there were any family secrets bubbling beneath the surface.
Listen in as we chat about what it means to be a late discovery adoptee (LDA), the intensity and fluctuation of emotions that are felt during the grieving process, the exploration of the “truth,” and the conflict of being empathetic and compassionate, when those expressions are often denied to adoptees. More importantly, we drill down on intentional curiosity about oneself. In doing so, adoptees can sit in their power to not “erase,” who they are, but live in their purpose without shame.
