S2E82 CONVERSATION WITH JEAN WIDNER, AND THE ADOPTION PARADOX
Manage episode 378044362 series 3456089
Jean was born in 1965 in Spokane, WA at a Salvation Army hospital. Her birth mother came from North Dakota. Jean had a mostly good adoptee experience, and her parents were really wonderful, good people. Her dad was an educator and her mother a nurse. Not to say there weren’t challenges growing up, as Jean's mother was addicted to prescription drugs and alcohol by the time Jean came into their lives.
Today, Jean is a professional writer and business owner of a small-town media outlet, BoulderCity.com. She has worked retail and co-owned two successful e-commerce companies and now works as an online marketing consultant. When not working, she, her husband and two golden retrievers are traveling the western U.S.
Jean is currently working on a groundbreaking book called The Adoption Paradox.
