When adoption brings both happiness and heartache

​About this session: A reflective circle for adoptive families to sit with the full range of emotions that adoption brings - and what it means to hold them all without having to choose.

Facilitators:
1. Durga Nandini, Adoptive Parent
2. Mandira Kala, Adoptive Parent

Who is it for?

• ​You've felt happiness and heartache sitting side by side in your experience of adoption.

• ​You're a sibling, grandparent, or adoptee carrying feelings you haven't found words for yet.

• ​You sometimes feel like you should be feeling many things at once or feeling things you think you shouldn't be.

• ​You want a space where the full range of what you feel is welcomed, not simplified.
  
  This sharing circle is designed primarily as a space for adoptive parents to connect, reflect, and share their experiences with one another. Adult adoptees are welcome to attend and participate. Some discussions may not be age-appropriate and we request that children not attend the session.

  • ​Please note that childcare will not be available at the venue. If you have circumstances that make it difficult for you to attend without bringing your child, please write to us at sharingcircles.manotsava@rohininilekaniphilanthropies.or
