Teen Adoptee SG: Share Your Story, Your Way

The Share Your Story, Your Way support group is primarily designed to create a safe & supportive environment for you, a teen adoptee (ages13 to17) to engage with your story alongside fellow adoptees. The group will follow the Teen Adoptee Support Group: Share Your Story, Your Way curriculum which includes personal adoption stories from C.A.S.E.'s (Center for Adoption Support and Education) book, Beneath the Mask: For Teen Adoptees.

During this 8-week group, teens will:

Explore the 7 Core Issues of Adoption
Learn better ways to respond to adoption-related questions and comments
Have an opportunity to process your personal adoption journey and share your story, your way
Hear and learn from other teen adoptees in a supportive and collaborative way

We all share the reality of adoption being a life-long journey, so let’s walk the journey together. Comfortability with reading and sharing in front of the group is highly encouraged but not mandatory.

*Participants do not need this book to attend.

During this 8-week group, pre-teens will:

Explore your adoption as a story
Discuss the various feelings that come up in your adoption story
