The members of the 2021 Flourish group hope this book will guide and inspire you to find your own Flourish Family

The driving force behind this book was to both create a record of our time together and to say to other adopted people…You are not alone. We see you. After a year of hearing the commonalities at the root of our experiences as adopted persons, feeling the power of writing and sharing our truths, we recognize the potency and capacity for growth, healing and a greater sense of agency generated in community. Just as we shared them over a year together in Flourish, here we offer you our stories, thoughts, feelings and  experiences to educate, inspire, spark discussion, and offer connection. 

Here are some of the truths we hope to share with you: 

• The voices of adopted people matter, including yours 

• The feelings and experiences of adopted people are real and relevant, including yours

• We find belonging in this community of shared experiences, as could you 

• Adoptees in community create powerful healing potential 

• All adopted persons and their allies are welcome members of our shared community 

• What is a community of adopted persons committed to supporting each other and lifting our true voices?  An ideal environment for healing and growth, a force elevating the visibility of the experiences of adopted  persons, a place in which we can truly FLOURISH!
