Adult Adoptee Board Games - Downtown Madison

Come play board games with fellow adoptees! I'll bring some and feel free to bring your own. Feel free to share with any other adoptees!

Who is Invited to Attend

1. Anyone over the age of 18
2. Anyone who identifies as an adoptee (a person who is adopted). If you also identify as other parts of the adoption triad (adoptee, guardian, first/birth family), you are still welcome to join, but please center your adoptee experiences in this space.

Safe Space Norms

1. Don’t be a bigot (racist, sexist, transphobic, etc.). Those who do not comply will be asked to leave events/the group.
2. Enter the space with an open mind as this is a group of highly varied experiences
