Our Event Values

  • Digital illustration of a browser window with the word 'ONLINE' inside, a hand cursor clicking on it, and decorative elements.

    Connection

    Our events are not just informational; they are relational. They invite you to listen with your whole self, with open minds, open hearts, and the humility to learn from lived experience.

  • Two speech bubbles, one dark teal with three dots and one beige with three horizontal lines, representing conversation or communication.

    Reflection

    Listening to adoptees requires more than presence—it calls for pause. When we slow down and truly consider what is being shared, we confront our own assumptions, biases, and blind spots.

  • Two spiral notebooks stacked, one with a dark green cover and a rectangular label, the other with a light green cover.

    Learning

    At our events, we invite you to set aside what you think you know and become a student again. Adoptee narratives expand the conversation on identity, belonging, race, grief, and joy in ways textbooks cannot teach.
