DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO GO OVER THE EDGE?
EVENT DATE: September 13, 2025, slots available from 8am-5pm

Adoption, foster care, and kinship care impact people in many different ways. Those experiences often come with complex emotions, unanswered questions, and a need for connection. At Adoption Network Cleveland, we walk alongside individuals and families at every stage of that journey. Whether you're an adult adoptee, birth parent or birth family member, adoptive, kinship, or foster caregiver, youth in foster care, foster alum, or a professional working in the field, you belong in this community.
We believe that everyone deserves to feel seen, heard, and supported. That's why we offer trusted guidance through search and reunion, space for healing through peer-led support groups, education that empowers, and advocacy that drives systemic change. We've also expanded our work to support those who are donor conceived or have experienced misattributed parentage—because the core of our mission has always been about helping people find answers, identity, and belonging.
But...the need is greater than ever, and many still face barriers to support. That's where you come in!
By participating in Over The Edge, you're doing something bold and deeply meaningful. Your involvement helps create space for a birth parent to feel understood and supported, for an adoptee to explore their identity with care and community, and for a young person transitioning out of foster care to know they're not alone. Every dollar you raise helps provide connection, guidance, and hope to individuals and families.
Now's your chance to take a powerful step—for yourself, someone you love, or someone you've never met. Sign up. Show up. And go Over The Edge to support those impacted by adoption.
