Adopteens Timeline Animation
Members of this project reflect on important stages in their lives, sharing their thoughts and feelings about the various support they have received. This is a useful learning tool for anyone professionally and/or personally linked to adoption.
This work was commissioned by the One Adoption VAA Expertise project and funded by the DFE.
Who?
We are a project built and designed by adopted teenagers for adopted teenagers. Adopteens has over 50 members and still rapidly growing. Most young people who become part of the project stay part of the project. So if you are adopted, live in Yorkshire and Humber and are aged between 11-18 why not get in touch.

Why?
Adopted teenagers felt there was a gap in the market for a unique group like this which covers such a wide area. They wanted the chance to meet other adopted teenagers where they can just be themselves in a safe, caring, fun and understanding environment away from parents, workers and school!!

Where?
Our project is based in Leeds but runs events throughout the Yorkshire and Humber Region; we aim to make it fair for all adoptees by running them in different places.
We have also found members like trying out new things in new places.
