Hi! My name is Ayden Lincoln, and I was born in China on October 28th, 2002. Immediately after birth, I was abandoned with my umbilical cord attached, found in a box at a train station, and sent to an orphanage, where I spent the first year of my life lying in a crib before being adopted by an amazing family in Pennsylvania. However, being adopted did not solve all my problems and led to a lot of trauma. In 2023, I graduated from my local community college with a degree in general studies and a concentration in business/journalism, and I plan on going back to school to get my bachelor’s degree in the next few years. Today, I am an adoption advocate and author that seeks to share my story, inspire others, and let other people know they are not alone. In my free time, I enjoy caring for my saltwater fish, getting my nails done, and watching Netflix.
