Adoptee Voices

Events for adopted teens and young people

We’re running a series of events for adopted teenagers and young people. The events are a great way to get to know other adoptees in a relaxed and fun environment.

If you are an adopted teenager or young person, you have a unique perspective. We want to provide a supportive space for you to meet our team and connect with other young people who were adopted through PACT.

We are running regular events for different age groups. The sessions provide a space to socialise, either virtually or in person, as well as chatting about topics that are important to you and sharing your thoughts and feelings.

To book a place, please complete the form at the bottom of the page.

To find out more, email our team on adoptionsupport@pactcharity.org.

Hear from someone who attends the group

Olivia* has been attending the Adoptee Voices group for several years. She said:

“It’s good because then it means that I’m not alone. For me at school, I tend to keep it to myself, I don’t really say anything about it but people do ask me about it and sometimes they ask me questions about it and then when I tell them what it is and stuff like that, they then start making horrible things about it and are not that understanding about it. So it’s good that I’m with people who have gone through something like that, and that they’re able to give me advice on what I can do.”
