Welcome!

I’m Kieran, a Colombian adoptee now navigating the journey to adopt as a single parent. This space is for my friends, family, fellow adoptees, and anyone curious about adoption—especially adult adoptees and singles considering this path.

What You’ll Find Here

  • Honest stories about my adoption journey, from my adoption from Colombia, to my childhood in New Jersey to becoming a hopeful adoptive parent.

  • Practical insights and resources for anyone thinking about adopting, with a special focus on the experiences of adult adoptees and single parents.

  • Reflections, challenges, and moments of joy—shared twice a month.

Why This Matters

As someone who’s lived both sides of adoption, I hope my story offers support, encouragement, and real talk for others on a similar path. Whether you’re a friend cheering me on, an adoptee exploring next steps, or simply adoption-curious, you’re welcome here.
