We are facilitating connections for adoptees.
In 2013, our founder, Angela Tucker, shared her journey in the documentary "Closure," sparking conversations and inspiring adoptees across the country. During the film's tour, adoptees expressed a need for a safe space to share their thoughts, leading Angela to create virtual hangouts that evolved into a mentorship platform.
From 2014 to 2021, she supported over 300 adoptees, and recognizing the growing demand, she founded the Adoptee Mentoring Society to empower adoptees worldwide and foster a supportive community.
Core Values
-
Adoptees of all ages are central to the strength and growth of our organization. We embody adoptee power by centering the adoptee, practicing ethical storytelling, respecting their individual perspectives and honoring the collective experiences of adoptees.
-
Cultivating a safe environment where adoptees from all backgrounds and overlapping identities (including, but not limited to race, class, gender, and age), contribute to the unique experiences of the adoptee identity.
-
There is a unique bond that happens when adoptees connect with other adoptees. We gain the ability to reshape our narrative by owning our actions, feelings, and thoughts related to adoption. Together, we elevate and nurture the overall wellbeing of our community.
