Jean brings clarity and compassion to a subject often wrapped in silence and misconception. Through her writing, she invites readers to see adoption not as a simple narrative of rescue or loss-but as a layered, human experience that deserves honesty, empathy, and ethical reflection. Growing's Coaches are thrilled to welcome Jean to the team. She shares their passion for adoptee-centric understanding and strives for a TriSpective view where each triad member is value and heard. Look for Jean in our blog and vlog posts and her perspective as an adult adoptee. *Learn more about Jean and her work here:&amp;nbsp;https:\/\/adoptionparadox.com\/about-h\/a... From Jean's website: Jean Kelly Widner is the author of The Adoption Paradox: Putting Adoption into Perspective, a powerful exploration of the complex realities of adoption. Born in 1965 and adopted from birth in Washington State, Jean lives the paradox she writes about-experiencing both love and loss, belonging and separation. In her book, she shares stories from all sides of the adoption triad: adoptees, birth parents, and adoptive families, alongside insights from mental health experts. With a background as a marketing consultant and joint venture affiliate marketing expert, she and her husband have built and sold two successful e-commerce companies. She also owns a local news and storytelling blog in Boulder City, Nevada, where her love of writing continues to grow. Jean lives in Southern Nevada with her husband and two dogs, and often escapes the desert heat in their camper van, where they work remotely and explore new places.
