Support for Adopted Adults Are you an adopted adult who would like to meet and share experiences with other adopted people? Are you thinking about contacting your birth family and want to talk it through with other people? Have you had a reunion with birth family members and want somewhere to share and discuss your experience with other adopted people? The support group for adopted adults may be what you are looking for.
Help and support
The purpose of the group is to provide a forum in which people can meet other adopted adults to share their feelings, experiences, thoughts and ideas and help and support others and be helped.
The group runs approximately every two months in a venue close to London Bridge from 6.30 to 8.30pm. Please call or email us to confirm venue details. It is facilitated by the South London Adoption Consortium of which Southwark is a member.
