Adoptee Remembrance Day merchandise is available through The Real Adoptee Moxie Emporium, with items created specifically to help bring visibility to Adoptee Remembrance Day on October 30th and support the work that continues throughout the year.
The collection includes Authentic Adoptee Remembrance Day T-shirts, hoodies, coffee mugs, and a true-to-life greeting card collection created for adoptees and for those who want to acknowledge and honor the grief, loss, mental health struggles, and complex realities adoptees carry. As well as the Listening to Adoptees is Suicide Prevention Collection, and the Dear Adoptee: Keep Going Collection. Wearing, sharing, and sending these items is another way to help bring Adoptee Remembrance Day into conversations where adoptee experiences are seen, acknowledged, and taken seriously.
Proceeds from the Adoptee Remembrance Day collection help support the continued work behind Adoptee Remembrance Day, including maintaining and expanding the website, awareness efforts, educational and recommended resources, outreach, the Wall of Remembrance, and the ongoing work required to keep October 30th visible year after year.
Proceeds will also help support the newly launched Adoptee Remembrance Day Substack, where we will publish first-person stories from adoptees who have experienced suicidal ideation and/or survived suicide attempts. Adoptees whose stories are selected for publication will receive an honorarium for sharing their stories. We believe adoptees who give their time, emotional energy, and lived experiences to this work deserve to be compensated for their contributions.
The Adoptee Remembrance Day Substack will also provide a dedicated home for remembrance, community contributions, resources, awareness initiatives, and ongoing conversations surrounding adoptee suicide, suicidal ideation, mental health, grief, loss, and survival. This gives Adoptee Remembrance Day a place to continue these important conversations throughout the entire year, not only on October 30th.
Please place your Adoptee Remembrance Day merchandise orders as early as possible. Shipping delays can and do happen, especially as October 30th approaches, and we cannot guarantee that orders will arrive in time for Adoptee Remembrance Day. We are unable to guarantee rushed or last-minute orders, so please plan ahead and order early.
Every merchandise purchase helps us continue growing Adoptee Remembrance Day, honoring the adoptees we have lost, supporting adoptees who are still here, and creating opportunities for adoptees to share their experiences and be compensated for contributing their stories to this work.
Dear Adoptee: Keep Going Collection
The Dear Adoptee line is a collection of little love letters from adoptee and Adoptee Remembrance Day founder Pamela Karanova to fellow adoptees. Created from the heart, each message offers a small reminder to keep going, stay another day, and know that your life matters. Every piece honors the heart of Adoptee Remembrance Day: remembering the adoptees we have lost while keeping a light on for those who are still here.

Listening to Adoptees is Suicide Prevention Collection
Listening to adoptees is suicide prevention. This Adoptee Remembrance Day message calls on families, clinicians, researchers, professionals, and communities to become a heart with ears. When adoptees speak about adoption, grief, separation trauma, identity, mental health, or simply how they are doing, listening without dismissing, correcting, or silencing them can matter more than we realize. Sometimes suicide prevention begins with something incredibly simple: believing an adoptee when they tell you they are hurting.

Authentic Adoptee Remembrance Day Collection
The Authentic Adoptee Remembrance Day collection features the official Adoptee Remembrance Day logo and represents the heart of this movement founded by adoptee Pamela Karanova. Created for October 30th and meant to be worn year round, this traditional collection honors adoptees we have lost, raises awareness about adoptee suicide and mental health, and keeps their memory visible. Wearing the official logo is a simple way to stand beside the adoptee community, carry the message forward, and help keep a light on for the adoptees who aren’t here.

True to Life Adoptee Centric Greeting Card Collection by Pamela A. Karanova
Be sure to visit the True-to-Life Adoptee Greeting Card Collection while you’re there. This collection goes far beyond Adoptee Remembrance Day and was created for the real, everyday experiences of adoptees throughout the entire year.
These cards make space for the grief, loss, complicated emotions, milestones, difficult anniversaries, birthdays, biological family connections, and other realities that traditional greeting card aisles rarely acknowledge. They are created for adoptees to give to other adoptees and for friends, family members, and allies who want to show up for the adoptees in their lives with words that recognize their experiences rather than minimize them.
