Chilean Heritage Journeys

Next Gen: Chile
Exclusive for adult adoptees and those who love them
Dates: TBD

The Next Gen concept began with the Ties Program reflecting on our commitment to heritage journeys over the past 30 years. As more adoptees enter adulthood and start families of their own, we wanted to present a program that was uniquely tailored to their desires for staying connected with their birth country.

International adoptees are moving into and through adulthood, with a whole new set of needs: the need to experience their birth country at a different level, the need to connect to people they share their heritage with on an everyday level, the need to share their birth country with the people currently in their lives, and in many cases, the need to reconnect or try to connect with birth family. 

Who would Next Gen: Chile be for?

  • Adult Chilean adoptees, traveling solo or accompanied by those who are part of their lives.
  • Spouses, friends, significant others, children of adoptees.
  • Parents, grandparents, siblings, extended family—all would be welcome.

What do you think? Does this type of program interest you?  We invite you to complete our Next Gen Interest Form, designed to learn about your interests and what adult Chilean adoptees would like to see as part of Next Gen: Chile.

"I think the healthiest outcome of the trip for my daughter is that going with a group 'normalized' her situation and her adoption.”
