Connection
Adoption isn’t a one-time event. No matter what your personal connection to adoption is, adoption isn’t something that happens for just one day, one month, or even one year – adoption is a lifelong journey. AKA is here to provide you with connection, education, and support; the unique kind you can only get from peers and others with a direct connection to adoption. Our conversations and our programs include the foster care and donor conceived community, as well as individuals navigating challenging DNA discovery journeys. We all bring unique experiences to the table and can support and learn from one another on our individual journeys toward wholeness.
