An adult adoptee who recently searched, located and reunited with her birthmother will speak at this month's Adoptive Family Group meeting.
The group meets Saturday from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. at St. Andrew Lutheran Church, 804 N. Cape Rock Drive.
The speaker, Jane Kester-Koppenaal, will provide an overview of her experiences. She will talk about the discovery of her biological heritage and identity and will tell how she is processing that experience, blending two identities into one.
Anyone touched by adoption may attend. Child care will be provided.
