07. Birth Family Reunion with Meridian Mayer

Meridian Mayer is a Nigerian, born and adopted in Milwaukie, WI who is a sports fan, bodybuilder, and cat daddy to twin Tuxedos (Basil and Stefan). He joins us this week as we discuss his experience as he searched, found, and then reunited with different members of his birth family. Listen in as he shares the highlights of meeting his mom, which is seen in the title photo, being in awe of similarities with his dad, and how he hopes to grow deeper relationships with them. Meridian also provides insightful advice regarding this entire experience in case other adoptees are in the process of reuniting with their birth families.
