As we step into a brand-new year, we’re excited to debut a freshly updated look for our monthly newsletter—we hope you like it! We’re also looking forward to all that’s to come in 2025. Here’s to embracing new opportunities, cherishing meaningful connections, and continuing to grow together.
Whether you’re setting big goals or savoring small joys, we’re here to support and celebrate with you. And because we’re better, stronger & wiser together, we hope you’ll join us as a registered member this year. Members are the core of our org and we’re endlessly grateful for your participation and reciprocity.
Wishing you a year filled with happiness, health, and success! ✨
Warm regards,
Your 2024-2025 Board of Directors
We invite you to our first event of the year: Join community members who have returned to their birth countries seeking to learn more about their cultural and biological roots. Our panelists from Hong Kong, Paraguay and South Korea have vastly different experiences. During this intimate conversation we’ll learn more about their lived experiences, engagement with their birth country cultures and their advice for adoptees looking to conduct a birth family search. **Adoptees only**
