Does anyone know of adoption support groups for adoptees in the Chicago area?
Find answers to your legal question.

I am looking for a support group that is geared towards adoptees...the only groups I am finding in the Chicago area are for adoptive parents, birth mothers, and international adoptees....any groups for the other adoptees out there? Any suggestions will be a huge help. Thank you!

I know that I am not giving you exactly the right answer, but when I began my search for my n mom, the only group where I lived was a CUB group. There was an equal amount of a moms, n moms & adoptees in the group, and it was amazing. You may want to check with the CUB leader there and see if their group is also that way, or maybe they can point you in the right direction.
