I finally made the family recipe without checking the instructions every thirty seconds. It actually tasted right.

Learning the language didn’t make everything click.
I thought learning more would make me feel certain. Instead, it gave me better words for questions I was already carrying.

Adoptee-led and centered on lived adoption experience. Friends, family, and allies may learn with humility; adoptee-only spaces remain protected.
03 / COMMUNITY CONNECTION MAP
Future connection, on your terms.
A future member-only map for broad, consent-based connection opportunities—not public storytelling or individual location sharing.
The map begins with broad community patterns. Members may later choose to share a low-detail, consent-based connection profile.

Illustrative preview data — all people and locations shown are fictional examples.
Locations are grouped before they reach the public map. Small groups roll into broader regions; real members must separately consent before appearing or receiving a request. No public individual location sharing is planned.
Fictional map regions and aggregate counts
Every story has a place here.
In Between will eventually make room for adoptee voices across backgrounds, shared with clear permission. There is space for stories about identity, culture, family, friendship, ambition, everyday life—and the things people may still be finding words for.
No one owes this community their story. But if you want to share, there is room for it here.
“I didn’t realize how many tiny things I explained away until I met other adoptees.”
“I want people to know we can talk about identity and also just laugh about our families.”
“I’m looking for people nearby who understand without needing a whole introduction.”
A COMMUNITY FOR ADOPTEES
Meet Katie.
In Between is a growing community for adoptees of every background, culture, and life stage—a place to learn, connect, share what feels true, and feel a little less alone.
I’m building it because adoption can hold many different stories. Mine is still unfolding too.
