A MESSAGE FROM ASTRID
Director & Founder of Adoption Mosaic
Adoption Mosaic is beating the heat (Portland, OR hit record heat 114 degrees last week) by staying busy planning for cooler weather courses and events. Keep your eye out for our fall calendar coming soon! 

A big shout out to our eight panelists from June (Adoptees and Reunion and Birth/First Parent panels): Carmen, Samantha, Kevin, Spirit, Claudia, Christopher, Ashley and Renee. The stories and the work of these incredible people are so inspiring and a great reminder of the energy we create when we join together as a community. You can purchase the recording the panels here. PURCHASE PANEL RECORDINGS

We would love to be able to share the panel with other birth/first parents around the world. Therefore, we are putting a call out to our community for translators in Spanish, Korean, Mandarin, Amharic and for financial contributions to support our translation project. If you are interested please contact us at events@adoptionmosaic.com. 

Finally, don’t miss our next We the Experts: Adoptee Speaker Series - Adoptees & Siblings. See details below. 

As always, thank you for your continued support of Adoption Mosaic. We could not do the work we do without YOU, our community.
Astrid Castro
Director & Founder
