We the Experts: Adoptee and Non-Adoptee Panel Series
This upcoming We the Experts features adult adoptees who are childless, not by choice. These adoptees did not voluntarily choose to be childfree; instead, they are childfree due to situations beyond their control, such as infertility or other medical complications, the loss of a child, or life circumstances. This discussion will explore the nuanced emotional landscape of family building for a population that lacks biological mirrors, delving into the complexities of identity, family, and the familiar grief of not having a choice.

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.
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.
