Week of November 8, 2015 in Hong Kong

 
We invite adult adoptees from Hong Kong orphanages to attend our next reunion, which will be held the week of November 8, 2015 in Hong Kong.  This is a special opportunity to meet other Hong Kong adoptees like yourself – to share adoption experiences, develop friendships and be part of our network.
 
Come join your fellow HK Adoptees in discussion group meetings, special arranged visits to Hong Kong orphanages, as well as sightseeing, free time and lots of eating! Friends and family are welcome to attend too.
 
Explore your pre-adoption and HK cultural history in a fun, informal and spontaneous way. This is also an opportunity for you to look for your Hong Kong records, birth family and relatives.
 
See what fun we had at our first Hong Kong Adoptee Reunion held in 2010.
