Community
Better Together is a community of value-aligned adoptive parents, adult adoptees, and other constellation members who are ready to listen and learn to each other to unpack the tough conversations surrounding adoption.
Parents who are working through similar challenges can collectively offer a sense of camaraderie as we discuss similar questions, doubts, fears, successes, and more.
Guests
We host a guest speaker the last meeting of each month. This gives our members an opportunity to have an intimate conversation with critically thinking adoption constellation members. Better Together guests often become regular members of Better Together after they have the chance to experience the unique quality of diversity and strength of support available in this community.
Support
Each week, Astrid facilitates our large group discussion on a variety of subjects ranging from what's new in the media to specific concerns from our Better Together community members.
After this initial hour in our large group, we break out into affinity groups (adoptive parents, adoptees, etc.) for an additional 20-30 minutes. This time is a great time to receive support and advice from those with a lived experience similar to our own. Joining an affinity group break out room is optional.

How Better Together Has Impacted Our Community
Adoption Mosaic has been a huge support for us in navigating issues around transracial adoption and reunion with birth family. We have participated in workshops and I continue to join the Better Together Group (adult adoptees and adoptive parents). Being a parent is a journey and being an adoptive parent is a journey with some added considerations! Adoption Mosaic helps me be a more compassionate parent and I am so grateful to Astrid, Shelise and the rest of the Adoption Mosaic team for the work they do :)

My experience with Adoption Mosaic has been life changing. The work they are doing is extremely valuable. They support all aspects of the adoption constellation with a professional and critical thinking approach.
- Sidney R., Adoptive parent
Connecting with Astrid and Adoption Mosaic has been such a life-changing experience for our family. We have learned so much about being white/white-passing adoptive parents of a child of color...and I only wish we'd known this much when we first got started. Adoption Mosaic is a great resource for any member of the adoption constellation, and I hope this level of education becomes standard in the adoption community.
