How it all began…

Hiraeth Hope & Healing emerged from a deep yearning to support Adoptees, DCPs, LDAs, and NPEs in their journey towards healing. The founders crossed paths fortuitously during an NPE gathering in March 2019, where they recognized the pressing need for more opportunities for in-person connection and healing. Promptly after the event, they embarked on planning the inaugural retreat. In October 2019, they hosted the first-ever Jersey Shore Roundtable Retreat, which proved to be a resounding success. Since then, Hiraeth Hope & Healing has experienced continuous growth. These retreats are exclusively designed for Adoptees, DCPs, LDAs, and NPEs, with no inclusion of spouses or family members in the sessions. However, spouses, partners, and significant others are welcome to join for dinners, recognizing the potential for additional healing when all participants come together.
