Coming out ain’t easy and I’ve paid a price for not just my freedom, but the freedom of all Adoptees to have someone who began this vital conversation.

I’m not the only one who’s coming out. And this blog is dedicated to my brothers and sisters on the planet that need to see someone speak without editing or watering it down to suit the masses and keep folks in their comfort zones.

And if an adoptee can’t speak up when they are clearly uncomfortable and wondering where their Mamas are and get an honest answer? I’ve got a problem with that. It took me years to gain the courage to speak up.

So thank you Oprah and Ellen for paving the way for me and speaking such wise words learned from hard earned lesson of standing up to be counted, and being authentic.
