As we continue to process and reflect on the news about China ending its Adoption Program, join us in an insightful and heartfelt discussion as we explore the implications of the recent decision to end China's adoption program. This gathering will bring together adoptees, advocates, and others who are in the adoption constellation to share personal stories and foster a deeper understanding of the complexities that arise from this significant change. The first 30 minutes will be open to adoptees 18+ only and then the second half, the last 30 minutes, adoptive parents and anyone else in the adoption constellation are invited to continue meaningful conversation.
As we navigate this transition, we’ll address the diverse emotions and experiences adoptees face—grappling with identity, belonging, and the impact of this program’s conclusion on their lives. Attendees will have the opportunity to share their thoughts in a safe and supportive environment, encouraging open dialogue about the multifaceted feelings surrounding adoption, cultural heritage, and future uncertainties.
Through shared narratives and insights, we aim to create a space for healing, connection, and empowerment. Whether you are an adoptee, a family member, or simply someone seeking to understand this topic better, your voice is welcomed and valued.
Come be part of this important conversation as we honor our stories and collectively reflect on the future.
