About the
Openly AdoptedForum

A few things before you join...

​

This forum was created by adoptees with the explicit intention of being an openly adopted adoptee-centered forum.

 

The goal of the forum is simple: provide a space for adoptees to give and receive support with other adoptees, all of whom are in the process of understanding and dealing with their adoption - whatever that may mean to them.

 

Wherever you may be on your adoption journey, please know that this space was made with you in mind.
