Pretty much impossible to sum up what today meant and felt like at the @adopteelitfest.bsky.social . 🙏🏾✨😭😭This was the crew of 16 of us in the final roundtable reading. So rare for adoptees to feel seen, heard, held, and celebrated. I will not be forgetting today anytime soon. I love this community.
