Alianza of Colombian Adoptees
Join us on either Wednesday, February 18th, from 8 to 9 PM EST or Saturday, February 21, from 10 to 11 AM EST for a "Charla" — an open and informal conversation in community.
First, the ACÁ team is very excited to welcome and introduce two new members to our volunteer board of directors. This is your chance to ask questions and learn more about our young organization.
Our "Charlas" are designed to be online spaces for meaningful dialogue, and that's what we envision for this meetup. No matter where you are in the world, there are major cultural, social, and political changes occuring right in front of our eyes, so we would like to give time and space for community members to discuss current events. Building and reinforcing community ties and networks is more important now than ever, so we hope you can make it!
This event is exclusively for Colombian adoptees aged 18 and over. Come as you are, and let’s talk.
If you decide to join us, a Zoom link will be emailed to you one (1) hour before the event start time.
Click the buttons to sign up for one or both!

“The word home is virtually impossible to translate into other tongues, we are told by classicist Bartlett Giamatti. It is not a concept, not a place, but a state of mind where self-definition starts. It is origins. We can see the search for Home as a universal quest, but for the adopted person it is also a literal one. It is a quest for the beginning of one’s narrative; for the lost mother; for unconditional love; for meaning; for the recovery of lost time; for a coherent sense of self; for security; for form and structure; for grounding and centering.”
Lifton, B. J. (1995). Journey of the adopted self: A quest for wholeness. BasicBooks. (pp. 127-128).
