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.

As an adoptee, I'm often asked the same questions when I meet new people. I've been touring around the country, addressing how media has misshaped our view of adoption. Adoptees have also shared questions they have received. This will be part show and part interactive session where we encourage adoptees to share the questions they have received. We will then invite them to improv how they would answer and push the convo further. Maybe they will use humor, or perhaps cause some discomfort but I will be there to guide them and act as the person asking the questions.
