Chosen and Changed: The Untold Truth About Adoption, Identity, and Unconditional Love
By Aaron J. Hathorn
 
There are some wounds people carry quietly for decades. The adopted child who never feels fully seen. The birth mother who wonders if she did the right thing. The couple who said yes to adoption but are now silently breaking under the weight of trauma and confusion. This book was written for all of them—and for the people who love them but do not know what to say.
 
Chosen and Changed goes far beyond surface-level advice. It speaks straight to the heart of what adoption really feels like behind closed doors. The identity battles. The silence. The deep longing for belonging. It pulls back the curtain on the emotional, spiritual, and psychological layers that most people never talk about—but that shape the entire experience.
