Join us for an engaging panel discussion featuring representatives from two prominent Chinese adoptee organizations: China’s Children International and Chinese Adoptee Alliance. This event will explore their impactful work, the unique experiences of Chinese adoptee leaders, and the vital role of the community in fostering connection and support.

Our panelists will share their journeys into adoptee groups, discussing what inspired them to get involved, the challenges and triumphs they’ve faced throughout their volunteer experiences, and the ways their organizations can provide resources, advocacy, and a sense of belonging.

We welcome adoptee audiences to connect, learn, and engage in meaningful conversations about the adoptee experience and the power of community!

We look forward to connecting with you all! See you soon!

Please join CCI for our next Adoptees Chat where we will continue to explore the Chinese adoptee identity. In honor of Asian American and Pacific Islander Month this month's theme is about leadership in the AAPI Community!

We will be uncovering personal experiences with solidarity and support systems.
