What's the journey from hardship, anxiety and grief to love, joy and hope. Lisa Ann explores our burdens, how they develop over the stages of our lives and how to relieve ourselves of our burdens...

Adopted at the tail end of the Baby Scoop Era, Lisa Ann’s multiple decades of searching for family finally broke through with the submission of her DNA in 2018. She has learned over the past few years the importance of listening to others who are in the community, how more adoptees need to be heard, the benefits of changing the adoption narrative from all roses to reality, the impacts the journey has on all family and friends and how just talking it out can be one of the best forms of self-care available.

Lisa Ann is very driven, can be an overthinker and works to find peace with the wins and losses of her journey. She strongly believes in the power of acceptance through connection with other people who are adopted; and genuinely hopes her experience can lift others up as they too go through the process. Influenced by many adoptees with prestigious blogs, podcasts and memoirs, Lisa Ann embarks on this endeavor by focusing on being open to other perspectives, direct about her path taken, honest about emotions experienced and now very public about her adoption experience.

Wandering Tree Adoptee Blog and Podcast are powered by Lisa Ann. She is a writer and commentator focused on sharing her personal journey of adoption, searching for biological family and the nuances of reunion.
