A few kismet moments in her early twenties led her on a journey of discovering who she looks like. Vicky Heydon was adopted through a private county adoption right after birth in 1987 and then raised in the same county. Although she believes she crossed paths with her biological family a few years prior, it wasn't until she was in her late 20s when she was helping to pack up her parents to move out of state that led her to her biological family.
When the idea of building her own family came into focus, Vicky began facing her truths about adoption and began to focus on the question, "Is it nature or nurture?"

Great Interview

Just listening now & a line from the book where single mothers were considered selfish resonated with me as I was accused of this as a single parent in 1975. i grew up in a small town in New Zealand. As a 20 year old I became pregnant & took myself to a large city and ultimately to a home from single mother’s run by the Salvation Army. I received great care at this home, I had planned on adoption until after my daughter was born when I changed my mind when she was 4 days old. I returned to my parents home in the small town. I cant quite remember how old my daughter was when I ran into a young woman in town who as a newly wed had lived next door to my parents while I was still at secondary school & I had gotten to know her a little. When she discovered I was single & had kept my daughter, her comment was “it is people like you who make it hard for people like me”. She then told me she & her husband were trying to adopt as they couldn’t have children. I believe she told me my decision to keep was selfish. I was really taken aback at the time. That attitude seems to be less prevalent now, almost 50years on.
