GivingTuesday is Tomorrow. Consider Donating to Adoptees Connect, Inc.

Adoptees Connect, Inc. is participating in Giving Tuesday again this year! You can be a beacon of change for Adoptees around the world! Maybe you are an adoptee or someone who is impacted by adoption. Maybe you are a first parent, an adoptive parent, or someone who knows or loves an adoptee.
Why Support Adoptees Connect, Inc?
We're one of the very first adoptee-centric organizations designed by adoptees, for adoptees, going five years strong!
Adoptees Connect is a peer-led, adoptee-centric connect group for adult adoptees. Our groups are designed to be a space for adoptees to gather and share their experiences regarding their individual adoption journeys.
Being adopted can come with its own set of complexities that only another adoptee can genuinely understand. Through Adoptees Connect Groups, adult adoptees can empower one another through encouragement, community, and a concrete place to find their voices as they navigate their adoptee journeys together.
Through our collective efforts, we strive to bring hope & healing to as many adoptees as possible by building lifelong connections between those who understand. Our goal is to let every adoptee know that they aren't alone and that how they feel is normal amidst a not-so-normal situation. Nothing is normal about being separated from your biological family at the beginning of life.
Our organization is a global effort.
We've created chapters both across the nation and abroad. Click here to view our USA group listing. Click here to view our International group listing. Our groups are designed to take online relationships offline to get to know the person behind the profile. Jarring statistics of adoptees attempting suicide 4x more than non-adoptees, as well as prisons, jails, treatment facilities, and mental health facilities being overpopulated with adoptees, makes our mission all the more vital. We hope our mission will ultimately help counteract these staggering statistics.
At Adoptees Connect, we strive to make a difference in the lives of Adult Adoptees and those impacted by Adoption. We provide a service to Adult Adoptees in our communities that would be otherwise unavailable.
Being adopted is often one of the most challenging experiences in a person's life. It's said to be a lonely journey, and it often can be. It can feel like the world's weight is on your shoulders when you have no one to share your experiences with. It can feel isolating, and often, many adoptees give up simply because they don't have the motivation to keep going. The experience can be discouraging in many ways.
We aren't designed to walk our journeys alone.
We all need support now and then. Connecting with other Adult Adoptees who understand is a life-changing experience. Regardless of what stage you're at in your adoption journey, rest assured that another adoptee will know what you're going through and give you the encouragement you need to keep going.
Adoptees Connect Groups help many people cope with the emotional aspects of being adopted by providing a safe place to share their feelings and challenges. They also allow people to learn from other adoptees facing similar situations.
Benefits of participating in an Adoptees Connect Group may include:
Feeling less lonely, isolated, or judged
Gaining a sense of empowerment and control
Improving coping skills and a sense of adjustment
Talking openly and honestly about adoptee feelings
Reducing distress, depression, anxiety, or fatigue

Advocacy
In Adoptees Connect Groups, you'll find Adult Adoptees with problems like yours. Connect group members usually share their personal experiences and offer one another emotional comfort and moral support. They may also provide practical advice and tips to help you cope with your situation.
At Adoptees Connect, we're focused and dedicated to building lifelong relationships with one another. We can navigate this life together by planning fun activities, hosting monthly small group meetings, and sharing our lives. Adoptees Connect is where adoptee voices meet. This is the basis of what Adoptees Connect was founded on.
