Anna Harris

I am an author who recently wrote a book about being adopted at birth In a private adoption and growing up, feeling abandoned and rejected, even though I was adopted into a loving family. Over the years, I got healing for my pain through my relationship with God as a loving, heavenly father.. I later studied trauma and realized that I had trauma from the womb and from separation from my birthmother. And then in 2020, I found my birth family! And that was another level of healing. In my book, Not Abandoned, I tell my story, and I also offer readers a biblical basis to get healing for their own hearts and wounds, and connect with God as their heavenly father.
