Fifth Annual Greek Adoptee Reunion 2026

06/05/2026

***NEW UPDATE: Fifth Annual Greek Adoptee Reunion 2026***

"There is no room at the inn..."
WE ARE OFFICIALLY SOLD OUT! We have no hotel rooms left for the Reunion! All 31 rooms are spoken for (which, by the way, is a good problem to have!). We are overwhelmed and humbled by the response to the Fifth Annual Greek Adoptee Reunion and our trip through Greece with our fellow adoptees. Please be assured that everyone who has already registered and paid a deposit/paid in full has guaranteed rooms at the hotels on our itinerary.

If you still want to attend the Reunion, there are two ways in which that might still be possible:

1. Join the waiting list at https://forms.gle/sPoNRQeeZd9ckXuM9 You may still be able to attend in case someone who is already registered is unable to come. Be sure to include the number of persons and keep in mind that you will have to share a room if you have a traveling companion, as it will not be possible for us to get additional rooms in the coming months. If you choose this option, follow the link above to sign up on the waiting list.

2. We still have 4 seats left on the tour bus. You can register for the Reunion, but you will be responsible for obtaining your own hotel accommodations for the trip. The cost of the Reunion will be reduced by the cost of the hotel rooms, so it will include everything else on the itinerary except the hotel accomodations. If you want to choose this option, please email us at [email protected] for the exact cost of this option and to ensure that these seats are still available.

We are going to have an amazing time of fun, fellowship and connection. WE CAN'T WAIT!!!!!

***DON’T MISS OUT! SAVE YOUR SPOT TODAY!***

***UPDATE - Fifth Annual Greek Adoptee Reunion 2026***SAVE YOUR SPOT TODAY!***

As of today, we have exhausted our initial block of 20 rooms for each hotel. Now, that does not mean that we cannot get more hotel rooms, nor does it mean that you can't still attend the Reunion. What it does mean is that you need to let us know ASAP if you plan to attend the Reunion and if you will be single or double occupancy so we know how many more hotel rooms to acquire while we are still able to obtain more.

Whether you pay in full or use the installment plan, we encourage everyone to pay an initial deposit of $350 per person to save your spot. While the date for paying the initial deposit for the installment plan is April 30, we will accept payment in full or deposits (either for the installment plan or payment in full) until May 31, the day the first installment payment is due.

While you may still register for the Reunion after May 31, it will be on a space available basis, so please check with us first if you plan to register after May 31. All of the details for the Reunion can be found on The Eftychia Project page or on our website at https://theeftychiaproject.org .

We are so excited by the response for this magical trip through Greece together and we can't wait to welcome you home!

SAVE YOUR SPOT!

***REGISTER NOW FOR THE Fifth Annual Greek Adoptee Reunion 2026 - SPACE IS LIMITED, SO SAVE YOUR SPOT AND PAY YOUR DEPOSIT BY APRIL 30, 2026***

Don't miss out! If you are planning on coming to the Reunion, whether you plan to pay in full or via the installment plan, we encourage each of you to pay a deposit of $350 to save your spot. You can then either pay the remainder in full or pay via the installment plan. W've had a brisk repsonse in registrations so far, so once the bus is full, we will not be adding a second bus. There will also be a time in the next few months when we will be unable to secure additional hotel rooms.

Some beautiful scenery driving to and from Kalavryta (Καλάβρυτα) arranging some activities at one of our stops for the Fifth Annual Greek Adoptee Reunion 2026, October 11-17, 2026. Complete details for the Reunion will be posted tomorrow on The Eftychia Project FB page, on the Fifth Annual Greek Adoptee Reunion FB page, on Eftychia’s personal FB page Linda Carol Forrest Trotter and on our website https://theeftychiaproject.org, so be on the lookout!

It was awesome to have great company along in fellow Greek adoptee Teresa Scharf, who is here in Greece visiting her biological family about 30 minutes from Eftychia’s Greek hometown of Nafpaktos. We had a wonderful lunch at Taverna Stani and enjoyed driving through the gorgeous mountains blanketed with snow.
