Lifebook

Created by and for Adoptees.

Welcome to Lifebook, a transformative experience for adoptees of all ages at Spence-Chapin. For both children ages 6-11 and adults 18+, Lifebook offers a creative journey of self-discovery and identity exploration. Join us for a day of creativity, connection, and celebration of the adoptee experience.

Lifebook for Children

Lifebook is open to adoptees 6-11 who are joined by their parents/guardians at the Spence-Chapin offices. Kids create their “Lifebook” which tells the story of them!

Using art materials, photographs, letters and other memorabilia, kids create a physical book that represents themselves, the important people, places, and things in their life in their own words.

Hosted by Spence-Chapin staff and fellow adoptees, Lifebook is a great event where kids get to meet peers, share their stories, and have a fun creative afternoon!
