ADOPTEE MENTORING SOCIETY

Description

The Adoptee Mentoring Society (AMS) is a non-profit organization, founded in 2021 by Angela Tucker (www.angelatucker.com). We provide an intentional space of belonging for adoptees through group and individual virtual mentorship. We embrace adoptee journeys of all ages and believe that support for adoptees, by adoptees, offers an opportunity for true vulnerability, candor, empathy, and radical acceptance.

In mentorship sessions, adoptees discuss a wide range of topics such as: identity, birth family relationships, gender, sexuality, religion, and racism. Also, and of equal importance, is the space held for lighthearted moments including discussing hobbies, interests, and exchanging laughter. As one member said: "The Adoptee Lounge is therapeutic, impactful, and feels like a warm hug." Through these mentorship relationships, we aim to stimulate meaningful connections, promote personal growth, and enhance the well-being of adoptees.
