Expert Biography of Simon Benn: I was adopted at 5 weeks old and told so early I don’t ever remember not knowing. My childhood was good and adoption wasn’t an issue. At 40 I found out that my childhood teddy bear was gift from my birth mother. A volcano of anger erupted within me. Then a feeling of being unloved. Adoption had left me hot and business success had left me cold. This kickstarted a learning process and, eventually, sharing what I’ve learned to help adoptees thrive.

Simon Benn is based in the United Kingdom, but known internationally and created the Thriving Adoptees Podcast and hosts webinars and a blog in support of helping other adoptees thrive.
