Belonging Matters is meant to support the adoption community while creating a conversation with those not directly touched by adoption. The collection addresses the questions: —If you are part of the adoption universe, how do you find identity, family, and community —If someone you know is adopted, how do you understand and support them in their search for identity, family, and belonging —How do we improve the adoption experience to invoke social change that benefits the individual, the family unit, and the communities in which they live? This collection is about examining all that makes us unique, and it is about finding meaning and healing from the difficulties we encounter in life.
