“Satellite babies” is a term for Chinese-Americans who were separated from their parents before the age of 5, had caregivers in their parents’ home country, and reunited later with their parents in the USA. In this pilot support group, participants will get to share and reflect on their experiences of early childhood separation and reunion with their biological parents. Themes that will be explored: identity and belonging, ambiguous loss, and how early childhood experiences shape our understanding of ourselves, relationships, and the world.
