About
I’m Adopted
I’m Adopted started in 2015 — to give those adopted a place to connect, share, and talk openly about their experiences. What began as a small online page has grown into a worldwide community of adoptees supporting one another.
Today, our community connects adoptees from all backgrounds through stories, meet-ups, and shared conversations — helping people find others who understand what adoption can feel like.
