For much of her life, Lori Reising was trying to understand a feeling she couldn't quite explain.Adopted as an infant through a closed adoption, she grew up surrounded by love. Yet underneath that love was a persistent sense of abandonment, a question of belonging that followed her into adulthood and shaped the way she moved through relationships, loss, and healing.Lori reflects on the impact of adoption trauma, meeting her biological mother for the first time, the devastating loss of a stillborn daughter, years of grief, chronic health challenges, and the difficult process of rebuilding a life she never expected to live.Along the way, she shares what these experiences taught her about trust, resilience, spirituality, and the lifelong search for connection.
