Join other international adoptees for our first writing workshop as we reflect on our adoption experiences in a safe and nurturing environment. In celebration of National Adoption Awareness Month, we will write an open letter to a birth parent or adoptive parent about the challenges and revelations on our path towards healthy identity formation.

Her articles have been published in The New York Times, NBCNews.com, New York Daily News, St. Louis-Post Dispatch, Direct Marketing News and Library Journal.

Also-Known-As Adoptee Forums: The purposes of these forums are to create a confidential and safe space to discuss topics among adoptees, so these forums are only open to international adoptees.  While we welcome community supporters, friends, and families of adoptees to many of our events, the forums are closed to non-adoptees.  Please contact us with any questions.
