The KAAN 2025 Conference will take place at The Grand Hyatt in Atlanta, GA, on June 20-22. The theme this year is Growth and Change. As always, we offer an adoptee-only track alongside our general breakout sessions, which are open to all. We also offer programs for adults and youth (ages 8-17). All are welcome, including adoptees, birth families, family members (adoptive parents, spouses/partners, siblings and children of adoptees), service providers, and Korean Americans. We look forward to seeing you there!

If you have any questions, please feel free to email us at tech@wearekaan.org.

What does it mean to have no biological heirs? How do we define our purpose and leave a legacy? Who will take care of us when we’re in need? Speakers will share their personal journeys, choices and circumstances leading to these life questions, as well as dialogue in smaller groups with attendees about being childfree. This is intended to be a brave space centering adoptees without biological children in order to build community and help normalize the childfree experience.
