Sharing your experience of adoption is a way of validating your personal journey and moving towards healing.
Experiences can be communicated in many ways: through the written word, music and art. Over the years we have witnessed this process of healing through the stories that have been shared here. This website gives you the opportunity to learn about what others have experienced and the chance to share your own experiences through stories and art.
You may wish to share:- your reunion
- your search
- the impact of these on your relationships
- your feelings about adoption
