Holiday Toolkit
A free resource from the Adoptee Wellness Collective × I Am Adoptee
The Holiday Toolkit is a free 10-minute guide created to support adoptees during a season that often brings up old roles, expectations, and complex family dynamics. It outlines common holiday patterns and offers practical tools for navigating boundaries, managing expectations, and setting intentions before, during, and after gatherings.
Created in collaboration with I Am Adoptee.
What’s Inside This Toolkit:
• Why the holidays can activate old patterns
• Common relational roles adoptees slip into
• Why these roles come back online
• The “shoulds” that shape how we show up
• Tools for before, during, and after gatherings
• Reflection questions and grounding practices
