Adoptee Project

March 2025 – present: In Development

As a way to process my own grief and to heal in community, I am developing a research-based art project about my adoption experience and the adoption industry. I’m particularly curious about creating our own collective grief ceremonies: for what is known and what is unknown about our families of origin and the pain of silencing our own longing.

I invite adoptees interested in sharing about their adoption experience to email me at info@angeljae.com.

Please note, you do not have to disclose painful details or any information that you are not open to sharing.
