The Flourish Experience

Are you an adopted person? Have you spent much time with adopted

people? Is someone you love an adopted person? Have you ever wondered what

living life as an adopted person is like?



This book contains a collection of writings and artwork by a community of

adopted people who participated in a class called Flourish. In 2021, more than

thirty of us met for two hours once a week, every week, in two different classes,

for the whole year, to explore healing through community and the joy and hard

work of writing ourselves into the world. These pages are a window into our

lives and experiences of adoption.
