Summary
How does it feel to be an adopted child?
Ali was adopted at birth by a mum and dad who were desperate to provide a loving home to a baby. And that’s exactly what they did. Both very loving, very giving parents who gave Ali a really wonderful childhood. And right from the start Ali was aware she had been adopted. There were no secrets or big revelations. But what happens when you begin to see that you are not quite the same as everyone else in your family? You look a little different, you think a little differently and you have this deep, deep need to reconnect with the mother who birthed you into the world? For Ali it meant suppressing many emotions over many years. Not really understanding the emotions or being able to put them into words and never wanting to upset her adoptive parents Ali's physical and mental health suffered. Ali has been on a long healing journey to find self love and understanding and she has so much wisdom to share with us. Please join me in hearing Ali’s story.

| 0:00.0 | I feel that only the person experiencing it could ever say what a trauma is to them. |
| 0:04.9 | However, just just the nourishment and even just being held by a mother just being like as a baby |
| 0:12.4 | just held on her chest and just you hear that voice as you're being created and you're being |
| 0:17.6 | growing and then suddenly you don't hear that voice again and you don't feel that body again. |
| 0:23.5 | And so for me, it took me a long time to admit to myself that that's how I really felt |
| 0:31.1 | because I didn't want my birth mother to feel bad about her choice. I didn't want my parents |
| 0:36.6 | to think, oh, could we have done something better or different? But yeah, I definitely feel that way. |
| 0:42.9 | Welcome to how my parents raised me, I'm Dawn Chitty. When we are born, we arrive here as pure |
| 0:55.5 | and perfect souls and the direction our life takes from that moment is deeply connected to what |
| 1:02.6 | our parents bring to our lives. And what our parents bring to our lives is deeply connected |
| 1:09.2 | to what their parents brought to their lives and that's the cycle of families. |
| 1:15.2 | I have always craved connection with real and raw stories to understand what makes you |
| 1:22.6 | you, what makes you the absolutely unique human that you are. Stories are medicine for the soul, |
| 1:31.5 | they can connect us and they can change the world. And so in this podcast, I'm listening to beautiful |
| 1:39.0 | souls sharing their story, what happened to them, how they got through and how they have healed |
| 1:46.0 | and thrived despite everything to arrive right here in this moment. Content warning, if you are |

| 2:01.7 | Hey beautiful souls, from the moment there is conscious life within the baby growing in the |
| 2:10.6 | womb, that baby is aware of her mother's voice. She is part of the mother, she is entwined in |
| 2:17.8 | everything the mother is and does. And when she is born and she is held on the chest of the mother, |
| 2:24.0 | she knows that she is safe and protected and home. But what about if your mother has already |
