This We the Experts panel features adoptees exploring how adoption-related experiences, early relational disruption, and trauma can impact intimacy, attachment, and sexual well-being. Panelists will share how intimacy and adoption show up in their lives and relationships, including challenges around trust, vulnerability, boundaries, and self-connection. Through open dialogue, they’ll offer insight into pathways toward understanding, healing, and more embodied connection; moving conversations about intimacy away from shame and into critical thought grounded in compassion.
