Adoptee Aftershock Classic Arcade Meetup

Welcome! Aftershock is an arcade bar similar to IO. It's less popular but has many of the same games. I like it because it's a little quieter, but feel free to disagree with me after you meetup and try it out. ( aftershockclassicarcade.com )

It will be up to you if you want to purchase any food or tokens for games. You're also welcome to just hang out and chat!

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
