Profiles will be shared widely on the internet. They will be featured on the Humans of CCI Facebook page, the CCI website and on CCI’s social media accounts. Therefore, one possible risk is a breach of the adoptee’s privacy. Further details can be found in the waiver participants must read and sign prior to being interviewed and featured. Additionally, interviewees may feel uncomfortable, anxious, or upset as they think and evaluate their adoption and story. All information shared and topics discussed is at the discretion of the adoptee. Profiles will be approved by the interviewee prior to being published.

To participate, adoptees must fill out the Google form below and confirm that they have read the program waiver. After filling out the form, adoptees will be contacted by our team to coordinate a time for the interview and will proceed with writing the profile itself. Adoptee interviewees have the final approval of the profile and the photo included prior to their publication on CCI platforms. Adoptees may also choose how their name is written (first name only, first and last name, nickname, etc). Participation in the program is voluntary. For more information, please see the Google form and program waiver.

Adoptees 13+ may participate. However, adoptees under the age of 18 MUST have consent from their legal guardian to do so. All adoptee participants MUST read and sign the program waiver before participating.
