Childfree by Choice or Circumstance at KAAN

  • The Westin O'Hare 6100 North River Road Rosemont, IL, 60018 United States (map)

https://www.wearekaan.org/schedule

Being childfree as an adoptee/adopted person can include a range of emotions and experiences, some including intentional life choices and others are impacted by circumstances including our own adoptions. Speakers will share about their personal journeys, choices and circumstances in being childfree in a roundtable discussion. There will also be time for dialogue with attendees who are also childfree. This is intended to be a safe and brave space, centering adoptees without biological children in order to build community and empowerment and to normalize what it means to be childfree.
