Abandoned in China, Adopted in the U.S. | Ayden Lincoln's Journey from Orphanage to Advocate

In this podcast meet Ayden Lincoln, an adoption advocate, adoptee, writer, and survivor with a powerful story of hope and healing.

Born in China and abandoned shortly after birth with the umbilical cord still attached, Ayden was found in a box at a train station and spent nearly the first year of life in an orphanage. Adopted into a loving family in Pennsylvania, Ayden’s life changed — but so did the challenges. From overcoming childhood trauma, ADHD, and anxiety, to becoming a voice for adoptees and mental health, Ayden has turned pain into purpose.

In this episode, Ayden shares:

The emotional reality of being adopted from China

Healing from early abandonment and trauma

Living with ADHD and anxiety as an adoptee

Finding identity, hope, and purpose through advocacy

Graduating college and building a future with strength and resilience

Whether you're part of the adoption triad or simply looking for inspiration, this conversation is a reminder that you are never alone — and that every story, no matter how it begins, can grow into something beautiful. https://aydenlincoln.org/
