About.

What is Black Adoptees Meetup?
Black Adoptees Meetup is an inclusive and therapeutic space for Black adoptees to informally process the unique experience of being Black, adopted, and coming out of the fog. Through this organization, we create a community of like minded individuals.  
​We meet up once a year to laugh, eat, and play. We hold space for the multiple and interconnected stories that bind us as unique individuals. 

At Black Adoptees Meetup, you are allowed to be you!
Join us in Chicago, October 3rd-5th, 2025!
