Hi, my name is Xantal, and I am adopted. I have the permission of the mods to post this. I am currently working on my 10th-grade project, which focuses on the challenges of adoption from the perspective of adoptees. I feel that our voices are often underrepresented and overshadowed by the perspectives of adoptive parents, and I believe it is important to create more space for our experiences.
As part of this project, I have created a survey with simple questions, including a final section where participants can share their personal experiences or any feedback they may have. So far, I have connected with organizations and individuals such as Intercountry Adoptee Voices, Jessica Luciere, and La Voz de los Adoptados, GOA'L.
I would greatly appreciate your support in helping me further develop this project. My goal is to eventually create a website that serves as a bridge, making it easier for adoptees to find existing resources. One of the main challenges many of us face when seeking support is simply not knowing where to start or where to look.
Thank you very much for taking the time to read this. I truly hope I can count on your support, as well as that of the wider community.
