🫶 We love supporting other adoptee lead organizations.
Dr. Chaitra Wirta-Leiker is someone we admire for her contributions to the adoptee community. Dr. Wirta-Leiker, who was adopted from India as an infant, has authored a children's book about adoption as well as a journal for older adoptees. She also provides counseling to adoptees, is a public speaker, and has created a hub of fabulous resources which can be found at www.growbeyondwords.com
You're going to want to bookmark that. Trust us! 📌
In addition to all that, she serves as a consultant for us here at the Adoptee Mentoring Society. We love equipping our mentors with her journal as a source of reflection and inspiration in their work with mentees.
Here, our lead researcher, Bonni Goodwin, takes a moment to flip through its pages.
