Welcome to Led By A Heartstring. My name is Jonah and thanks for joining me on this journey that very few people will experience in their lifetime. I was adopted a 8 weeks old and only now am about to set out to find my birth family and you’re invited to follow along! I hope fill in the missing piece of my identity and answer to that constant pull on my heartstring tugging me back to my origins!

I’ve decided to finally open up in raw conversations with those in my life so far and try to reconnect with others who should be. Over the course of the first season, I will be speaking with my adoptive family, close friends and professionals in adoption support. From this I hope you will gain first-hand insight on the adoption experience in Australia, issues surrounding the adoption process and personal challenges faced by adoptees.

Let the journey begin.
