Our Mission

Hiraeth Hope & Healing, Inc. exists to create brave, supportive spaces for individuals impacted by separation from their origins and hidden truths. Through intentionally held gatherings and community-based support, we offer opportunities for connection, reflection, and shared understanding.

Rooted in care and solidarity, our work centers lived experience and honors the lasting impact of origin loss and family separation. We are committed to fostering spaces where people can explore identity, truth, and belonging at their own pace, within a community grounded in respect and togetherness.

Our Story

Hiraeth Hope & Healing was founded in 2019 in response to a shared recognition: there were few spaces where individuals impacted by adoption, donor conception, and unexpected parentage discovery could gather in person with care, honesty, and mutual understanding.

What began as a small gathering rooted in trust and lived experience quickly affirmed the power of coming together in community. Participants consistently expressed the need for spaces that were neither clinical nor performative—spaces where presence, consent, and connection could unfold naturally.

Since those early gatherings, Hiraeth Hope & Healing has continued to grow thoughtfully. While our offerings have expanded, our intention has remained steady: to create environments where people are welcomed as they are, supported in their own process, and never asked to engage beyond what feels right for them.
