Who We Are

We are a community that supports and connects adoptees in East Texas. Our Community Members include adult adoptees, but we also welcome individuals who have aged out of the foster care system to be members of AOET. This community originated out of Tyler, Texas in 2022 with the desire to expand local support for adult adoptees across East Texas. We also welcome anyone to connect with us as a Community Supporter. More details for how Community Members and Community Supporters can be involved are on our Events page!
