About We the Experts

We the Experts (WTE) is an adoptee-centered space where adoptees and others are invited to sit in community to listen to a myriad of lived experiences. Non-adoptees are invited to attend as listeners and learners only. 

Each panel is recorded and made available to registrants with a list of resources after each event. Topics have included: LGBTQ+ and Adoptee Identity, Adoptees and Reunion, Transracial Adoptee Identity, Adoptees & Substance Use, Birth/First Parents, Adoptees and Religion. 

We hold WTE once a month.

Purchase access to all WTE events for a year (this includes access to the entire WTE Recording Library!)

We the Experts: Non-Adoptee Panel Series

WTE non-adoptee events feature non-adoptees from birth parents to adoptive parents, adult children of adoptees to partners of adoptees.  We hold WTE Non-adoptee events quarterly.

Bringing a non-adopted support person?

AWESOME!!! Please note we request non-adoptees agree to our “Non-Adoptee Understanding” that means their primary intention is to listen and learn and non-adoptee attendees agree that they will NOT engage in the chat or submit questions to the panelists.

Tickets

Attendance fee is $10 for adoptees, $15 for non-adoptees. No adoptee is turned away due to financial hardship.
