Checklist: Steps to Telling Your Adoptee Story

🌿 Steps to Telling Your Adoptee Story

A gentle guide to reclaiming your voice, one step at a time.

Your story matters—not the one others told for you, but the one you’re discovering, feeling, and learning to speak for yourself.

Steps to Telling Your Adoptee Story is a thoughtfully designed checklist that walks you through the healing process of unpacking, understanding, and sharing your adoption journey. Whether you’re ready to write it down, speak it out loud, or simply begin reflecting on it in your own heart—this guide was created to honor your pace, your truth, and your voice.

This printable checklist includes:
✅ Reflective prompts to explore your adoption records and your memories
✅ Encouragement to question gaps in the narrative and reclaim what’s yours
✅ A powerful exercise in rewriting your story in your own language
✅ Steps to help you embrace change, seek support, and decide if or when you’re ready to share

Perfect for journaling, private reflection, support group discussions, or as part of your personal healing journey.
