About this Fireside Chat

Teenage adoptees may encounter various comments at school that relate to their adoption, and these comments can range from curious inquiries to potentially insensitive remarks. Some common comments may revolve around questions about their biological family, the circumstances of their adoption, or stereotypes associated with adoption.

In this Fireside Chat, our guests will share their personal experiences as teens navigating these conversations. We'll explore strategies for responding to such comments and discuss ways to support adoptees in these situations.

This event is free to attend, with a suggested donation of $10 to support our programs.
