Dean: Adopted, Reunited, Moving Forward
S11, Ep. 32: Dean
Born in England to a young American mother, Dean was adopted by a loving English couple who already had another, separately adopted son. Fully aware of being adopted from an early age, both siblings struggled for a sense of identity, and tension was ever-present in the family.
Eventually, at age 33, Dean decided to attempt to find and connect with his birth mother and was able to do so at age 42. Reunification went very well for a few years, but eventually the relationship became toxic, and Dean decided to move on.
