- Our 'Voices of adopted people: Messages for change' conference took place on Monday 18 October during National Adoption Week 2021 and was a huge success, with 200 people attending on the day.
During the event we premiered our brand new 'Adopted for life' short film, that you can watch within this video and as a separate video on our PAC-UK RUclips channel.
Within the video you will also see a presentation from our Adopteens Project - their 'Adopteens Timeline' animation can also be viewed as a separate video on our PAC-UK RUclips channel.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to this conference; co-hosts, presenters, attendees and those who worked hard behind the scenes.
A huge, huge thank you to our incredible Adopteens Project members who shared their personal experiences in our 'Adopted for life' short film.

Brilliant and about time. I was adopted from the UK at 5 then moved to Australia at 8, now 42. I've never settled anywhere and I'd love to share my story with others.
The pain Debbie is still feeling,is so palpable even at her age.You are the STRONGEST,AND DETERMINED LADY.
Brilliant I found this very informative. I'm a 49year old adoptee and only in the last 2 months am aware and coming out of the fog. I have more healing to do.. . This video is a great resource. Thank you So much 🙏🏽❤️😊
Everyone needs a sense of belonging and knowing where they are coming from.
As an adult adoptee, this is wonderful! Our voices must be heard as those who have lived the Adoption experience - we are the experts, we feel the trauma of relinquishment and maternal separation in every cell of our bodies. Thank you for highlighting our #adopteevoices. I wish your organisation had been around to support me when I was growing up. X
fantastic, just watched it and found it so enlightening and helpful, I am 54yrs and was in the fog with all the stigma and no relief, now I am pushing more for help and not feeling like a failure.........thank you xxxxxxxx
