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.
