Show notes

John was adopted at birth, and after losing his adoptive dad, he found himself navigating two stories at once: grief and identity. In this episode, we talk about what it means to lose a parent, how adoption shaped his grief, and the search for connection with his birth family. If you’ve walked through loss or adoption and want to share your story, I’d love to connect. Guests are always welcome on Unparented.
