X-WR-CALDESC:In-Person General Discussion Meetings provide a supportive spa
 ce where people can share their feelings and experiences\, get support fro
 m their peers\, and learn from others’ perspectives. The meetings have an 
 open discussion format and are attended by anyone with a connection to ado
 ption or foster care\, including adult adoptees\, birth parents\, siblings
 \, and adoptive parents\, those that have experienced foster or kinship ca
 re\, or DNA discoveries such as misattributed parentage or donor conceptio
 n. \n\nWhy are these groups needed?\n\nWe believe adoption is a complex\, 
 lifelong\, and intergenerational journey for all those whose lives are imp
 acted by it. These meetings connect and empower individuals impacted by ad
 option\, kinship\, foster care\, and DNA Discoveries and provide a source 
 of healing\, understanding\, and learning. Recognizing that a unified voic
 e is a strong voice\, we advocate for truth and honesty on behalf of adopt
 ees\, who wonder where they came from and why they were placed for adoptio
 n\; for birth families\, who have never forgotten the child\; and for adop
 tive families\, who deserve to have their questions addressed honestly. We
  recognize that everyone has a right to know their genetic history. By bri
 nging these groups together\, we learn from the experiences of each other 
 and have the opportunity to explore and process our own journeys.\n\nWhat 
 is the scope of this group?\n\nThis peer discussion and support group is n
 ot meant to replace conventional therapy but rather serves as additional s
 upport on your personal journey to integrate your experience. This group f
 ocuses on the emotional aspects of our journeys. For those involved in the
  process of search\, one on one guidance and support as well as technical 
 expertise and assistance are available through our Search & DNA Assistance
  Program.\n
