Welcome to The BEAT
The B.E.A.T stands for Beginning to Explore Adoption Together. We created this site to give adoptee a chance to discover more about adoption & identity, connect with others online, express thoughts and feelings around adoption, and hear from others with similar experiences. It's a place for you to share your voice.
This is the home site for The BEAT where we celebrate the diversity of adoption, offer adoption & identity resources, and share stories about adoptees in the media. You can connect with other adopted teens through our social media pages. You can check us out, and connect on our Twitter Feed, Facebook page, YouTube channel, and Instagram.
