The First Bolivian Adoptees USA Gathering 2026

by Serena Martinez
(Novi, Michigan)

Hello everyone!

My name is Serena, and I was adopted from La Paz, Bolivia. I currently live in the United States, and along with two other Bolivian adoptees, I'm helping organize the first-ever Bolivian Adoptees USA Gathering.

Although the gathering will be held in the United States, you do not have to live in the U.S. to be part of our community or attend. Our goal is to connect Bolivian adoptees from all around the world, build lifelong friendships, share our stories, and create a place where everyone feels they belong.

Whether you're just beginning your adoption journey, searching for your roots, or simply looking to connect with other Bolivian adoptees, we'd love to hear from you.

If you have any questions or would like to connect, please email us at bolivianadopteesusa@gmail.com.

You can also follow us on Instagram at @bolivianadopteesusa to learn more about our community, upcoming events, and the work we're doing.

We can't wait to meet you and welcome you into our growing Bolivian adoptee family! ❤️🇧🇴
