ROAD TO BELONGING: Establishing A Legacy Of Love After Closed Adoption. Each person has their own unique story, and as Lynne Leppard’s early life included foster care and adoption, she often found herself wondering about her origins and heritage. Her loyalty to her adoptive family was real, but so too was her longing to find out more about her first family and the story of her biological parents. In these pages, woven together with faith and family, Lynne vulnerably shares the untangling of the threads of adoption as she searches for answers to questions of identity, security and belonging. Lynne Leppard lives on an orchard in the sunny Bay of Plenty, New Zealand. She and her husband Phil enjoy sharing their life with their grown family, which has happily expanded in recent years with several grandchildren. Lynne is passionate about supporting parents and families who are navigating their own adoption journey. Instagram: @road_to_belonging
