"Adoptee Beacon: Adoptee Estrangement Support Group" is a lighthouse for adult adoptees navigating the rough waters of estrangement. It offers weekly gatherings from March 4th through May 20th, between 5:30 and 7:00 PM. Led by Becca Flatt and Laura Batt, this group promises a journey toward understanding, healing, and growth. 

• Lean into exploring adoptee critical thought and the nuanced layers of estrangement to foster a deeper understanding of self, unique to the adoptee experience.

• Receive support in practicing compassionate assertiveness and understand how to maintain boundaries with extended family and shared communities.

• Recognize that complete estrangement may not always be feasible due to financial, emotional, or social dependencies, Adoptee Beacon explores strategies for holding intensive boundaries.

• Understand that reconciliation, in its many forms, is a pivotal part of the journey. Whether reconciling with others or oneself, embark on a path together with the group, and shed light on the multifaceted nature of healing while removing the focus from basic ideas of reconciliation.

• Celebrate individual and shared growth, understanding, and healing journeys. We will underscore transformation, marking not an end, but a new beginning in each member's journey.
