287. Jonathan T. Newbern: "June is Men's Mental Health Awareness Month"

Jonathan Todd Newbern ( 2nd legal name ) is a domestic, same race, late discovery adoptee. Having intuitions and instincts that he was always adopted from a very young age. Only to find out at the age of eighteen, that his instincts were true, and he was adopted. Jonathan stepped into true adoption consciousness in his late thirties and works in a 12 Step co- dependency group. You might have seen him on an adoption zoom meeting, because he is very pro constellation, when it comes to support and getting legal rights and of course getting reparations.
