Like many of you, my year is ending in a flurry of travel, visits, and celebrations. In the quiet moments I find I am reflecting on a year of receiving and creating support in our community. As the year ends, I want to extend a big thank you to our 2021 panelists, event/course participants, volunteers, and community partners (see list below) for making Adoption Mosaic’s year so successful.
This month, we will complete a full year of We the Experts, including the first year of our quarterly non-adopted ally panel series. I am thrilled to look back on the range of experiences we were able to present to our community in 2021. It is exciting to be able to offer this rich “library” of lived experiences for others to access as a resource going forward. In addition, we launched a new Conscious Adoption parent education course - Seasoned Parents. This course was developed for parents of adult adoptees. We realized there was a great need to offer a course for those of us whose parents want to have a deeper understanding of how the narrative of adoption has shifted from when they adopted in the 60’s to the early 90’s. Listening to our community and creating innovative programs to support your needs is what inspires Adoption Mosaic everyday.
Finally another big thanks to last month's We the Experts panelists (Adoptees Who Adopted): Brandi Ebersole, Jimi Sweet, Rebecca Nurmela Peacock, and thanks to all those who attended.
I hope this December finds you healthy and well and thriving. And that you find the time this season to rest, recuperate, and recharge as we head into the new year.
Thank you for your continued support of Adoption Mosaic,
