• Adoptees discuss common issues, educate others, and mentor younger adoptees

• Participants are inspired to engage in hometown organizations that build community and address needs

• Educators, authors, filmmakers, advocates, and activists find an audience for their work

• Family and friends gain insight into the adoptee experience

• Adoptees share their experiences in the exploration of race and identity experience

• Attendees participate in ongoing education & community building 

• Movements are enacted for change 

​

Most valuable, though, are the lifelong friendships that grow out of our conferences. Our network fully achieves its purpose when people experience community rather than feel alone.
