Claire describes How To Be Adopted in 35 seconds…
HTBA bridges the gap left by patchy support for adoptees
2/3rds of adopted people have found it ‘difficult’ or ‘very difficult’ to find support.
Adopted people reported a 40% decrease in feelings of isolation after engaging with HTBA.
After joining an online or in-person meet-up with HTBA, 83% of adopted people felt their experiences were validated.
Meet Claire
Claire started How To Be Adopted after finding no resources for adopted people online and limited resources in real life.
Claire’s passion is connecting adoptees from the UK online and in real life to share stories and tips on coping as an adopted person in a non-adopted world.
