"Being apart of Adoptees of Chicago has taught me to open up more about my ethnicity and has become so meaningful to me. I think it is very important to connect with others adoptees. I find it truly amazing and fulfilling program!" - Melanie E, Teen
"I liked getting together for something new and different each time but with similar people." - Kael C, Teen
"I always appreciated the creativity Laura, Grace, Alyse, and Kylie (the organizers) brought to the events. You can't just throw a bunch of adopted kids together and expect them to immediately share their feelings about adoption. It requires building community and having mirrors as mentors. In addition to being so fun, that's what made these events so meaningful." - Tina C, Parent
