Adoptee's Day
Day of reflection on Adoption and Identity Research. Following the success of last year's half-day discussion on adoption during the “Adoptee's Day”, we wanted to take this subject a step further by offering a space for sharing and reflection during a special day, totally free of charge, dedicated to identity research. On the program: an inspiring tale, interactive workshops with testimonials, and information on family tracing procedures. The day was an opportunity to better understand the challenges of adoption and to explore the paths of identity research, while encouraging exchanges between participants.
