*******************

Who is Adopteen?

Started in 2007, Adopteen is a community founded by teens, organized by adoptees, for adoptees, as a reaction to the lack of Chinese adoptee role models and community in our lives, at the time. We are the young adult adoptee "culture" focused on the young adult adoptee experience, having a responsibly irresponsible amount of fun, living loud and doing good. For more information visit www.adopteen.org.

Adopteen is an initiative of CCAI.

If you have any questions please contact adopteenchicago@gmail.com
