The first UK resources for adoptees by adoptees.

Claire describes How To Be Adopted in 35 seconds…

How To Be Adopted provides:

  • In-person adoptee peer support groups

  • In person adoptee meet-ups

  • Virtual adoptee meet ups

  • Keynote speaking

Over 3/4rds (76%) of adopted people have found it ‘difficult’ or ‘very difficult’ to find support before finding HTBA.

Adopted people reported ~60% reduction in feelings of isolation after engaging with HTBA.

83% of respondents said being part of HTBA had validated their experiences as an adopted person.

Meet Claire, founder

Claire Moruzzi started How To Be Adopted after finding no resources for adopted people online and limited resources in real life.
