Adoptees Support Group
Come Join Us!
There are unique challenges faced by adoptees during adolescence, particularly for those in interracial families. This group will discuss the many emotions that come with the adoptee experience and empower each other to embrace our unique adoption stories. We will create social connections, improve coping skills, and play games!
