We’ve spent a lot of time on this show discussing minority adoptees; what their origin stories are, how it feels to be adopted by people of a different race & culture, and who the future version of their present selves will be… but what about those who are not transracial adoptees (meaning both adoptee and adopter are of the same

race)? Join us on today’s episode where Simon, the podcast’s first white male adoptee, discusses just that.

We’re taking a leap across the pond in today’s episode, where we are joined by Simon Benn, a UK coach for adoptees looking to thrive. He talks about what life has been like as an adoptee in the UK, and shares a story with us, about how discovering the history of his favorite childhood teddy bear at age 40, lead to a complete reevaluation & reconstruction of his own identity.
