Adoption Journals

We all need a safe place to reflect and process on our adoption experiences. I created these journals as a dedicated space for adoptees and adoptive caregivers to do just that—explore your thoughts, express your feelings, and dive deeper into understanding yourself at a pace that feels comfortable to you.
