The Adventure of Adoption

Join us for an adoption forum, with the main event focused on the new book, with a reading, signings, and a few words about author Lorri Antosz Benson's adoption journey and how adoption is an adventure. This will be in collaboration with a handful of adoption-related organizations scattered in the space with their own small tables with info on their missions.

About the book:

With a mission to empower adopted children, Adoptees presents diverse and accomplished icons like Simone Biles, Steve Jobs, Faith Hill, and Nelson Mandela. Each figure's adoption story is shared alongside a quote that inspires young readers to understand that being adopted is just one part of their identity, not a limitation. Benson’s aim is to show children that they can achieve greatness no matter how their story began.
