Finding My Voice

Hi! I’m Ayden Lincoln. I was born in China on October 28, 2002. Shortly after birth, I was abandoned with my umbilical cord still attached and found in a box at a train station. I spent my first year of life in an orphanage before being adopted by a loving family in Pennsylvania. Adoption gave me a chance at a new life, but it also brought challenges and layers of trauma that I’ve had to work through over time, including ADHD and anxiety. These experiences shaped my perspective and inspired me to become an adoption advocate. In 2023, I graduated from my local community college with a degree in General Studies and a concentration in Business and Journalism. I plan to continue my education and earn my bachelor’s degree in the near future. Today, I’m an adoption advocate and author passionate about sharing my story, inspiring hope, and reminding others that they are never alone. When I’m not sharing my story, I love caring for my saltwater fish, getting my nails done, and relaxing with a good Netflix show.
