The Flourish Experience: The Power of Adoptee Healing in Community

Are you an adopted person? Have you spent much time with adopted people? Is someone you love an adopted person? Have you ever wondered what living life as an adopted person is like?

This book contains a collection of writings and artwork by a community of adopted people who participated in a class called Flourish. In 2021, more than thirty of us met for two hours once a week, every week, in two different classes, for the whole year, to explore healing through community and the joy and hard work of writing ourselves into the world. These pages are a window into our lives and experiences of adoption.
