I'm Adopted

Here at I’m Adopted, we provide an open space for adoptees. Our mission with our organisation is to have this community that helps those who need to connect. Established in 2015, by Alex Gilbert after his own experience of connecting with his birth family.

Through our community, we have successfully cultivated a thriving network for adoptees here in New Zealand and around the world.

We offer a safe environment for adoptees through our private group, we facilitate meet-ups (in person or online) and offer advice to adoptees for those who may be needing some extra guidance. In addition, we offer a list of online resources, both written and visual, including our videos where adoptees share their personal stories through our An Adoption Story web series.

We have shared thousands of heartfelt narratives within our community, offering valuable insights to those navigating similar experiences. This collective sharing of stories has helped many who may be going through a similar experience, no matter at what point through their journey they may be at. We are here for everyone.

Note: If you're outside of New Zealand, you still can donate. Compatible only if you have Visa or Mastercard. Thank you!
