Created by adoptees for adoptees

IAMAdoptee seeks to curate an online roadmap of mental health and wellness resources to help navigate the lived experience of being an intercountry adopted person.

IAMAdoptee comes from the knowledge that helping each other helps ourselves.

No matter where you are in your discovery of your intercountry adoption identity, lAMAdoptee serves as a guide throughout your journey by creating a roadmap of ways intercountry adoption has impacted over a million adoptees.
