Adult Adoptees Support
The number of adopted persons in the United States is estimated to be between six and ten million. As the adoption community becomes more visible and more vocal, the entire institution of adoption has changed and is changing in response to the experiences of today's adult adoptees. Many of today's adult adopted persons grew up during a time when issues were not discussed, and in some cases, not even acknowledged. Now, adult adopted persons are coming together to compare lives, seek support and guidance, and more generally seek acknowledgement of their experiences.
