These shirts exist because I needed one.
I'm a Vietnamese adoptee — and every design here was made by or for someone who carries more than one story.
You carry more than one story.
Adoptive ThreadsStart with who you are
Own Your Journey
There is no right way to be adopted, and no one else gets to define your journey.
Adoptee Connections
The comfort of being seen, heard, and understood without having to explain why.
Family Is More Than DNA
We may not share the same roots, but we share the same home, heart, and history.
Too foreign for here. Too adopted for there. So we built somewhere of our own.
Every design starts as a feeling we couldn't find words for — until we put it on a shirt and found our people wearing it too.
What the community's wearing
These are our people.
Real community members, wearing their story. Tag #WearYourStory to be featured.
The adoptee experience holds celebration and loss at the same time — and neither cancels the other. These designs make room for all of it. You don't have to choose.
