We’re excited to invite you to a special evening of film and meaningful conversation!

Join us at 5:30 p.m., Wednesday, July 22, at The Cradle’s Evanston office, , 2049 Ridge Avenue, for a screening of Adoption & Identity Intertwined — a documentary by Mei Kelly, an adopted person. The documentary features 12 adopted teens from diverse backgrounds as they share their personal perspectives on adoption and identity.

After the documentary viewing, a panel of therapists and adoption professionals from The Cradle will lead an interactive reflection and discussion. And we want to hear from you! Attendees are warmly encouraged to ask questions, share their thoughts and join the conversation. This is a great opportunity to engage directly with seasoned adoption professionals in a safe, supportive setting.

This event is designed with adoptive families in mind. Parents are welcome to bring tweens or teens along for the experience, or to attend on their own. Registration is $5 for Cradle families and $10 for non-Cradle families.

Space is limited to 50 participants — register early to secure your spot! If you have questions, please contact Carmen Knight at outreach@cradle.org.
