Ties Together: Monthly Chats – A welcoming virtual space by The Ties Program created for the adoption community to connect, reflect, and feel supported. Held on the first Tuesday of every month, these free sessions offer two simultaneous gatherings: Connect & Chat for adoptees only and Talk Time for parents/loved ones. Sign up on our website under "Events" for the next one. Because the journey doesn’t end when the trip does and you don’t have to walk it alone.
