The idea of coming to author my life—understanding its origin and creating its future—had never occurred to me until I had my son in 2005. Most adoptees understand the intensity of growing a child inside your body who shares your DNA, and then born into the world sharing a resemblance to you, even if only in some small way. And, of course, every person who gives birth has their own epiphanic experience. I emphasize mine here because of its wondrous revelation, and the freedom it gave me to become the author of my life.
