A Community Built for Adoptees
We support adoptee voices and stories.
Welcome to Rewriting Adoption—a community built by adoptees for adoptees. Rewriting Adoption was created to support adoptee voices and stories to rewrite a new adoption narrative.
A New Adoption Narrative
When you listen to adoptees, it becomes clear how nuanced the adoptee experience is. Unfortunately, the current, dominant adoption narrative does not capture the complexities of our diverse backgrounds. The one-size-fits-all narrative leaves little room for open and honest dialogs about grief, loss, anger, and trauma.
Adoptee Stories
It can be hard to describe how we feel about being adopted, but when we listen to fellow adoptees, their words and stories often resonate. As adoptees, we have many different identities and backgrounds. When we share our stories we may find common ground, but we also offer unique insight into our diverse experiences.
Dear Adoptee, we are so glad you’re here.
