New York Chinese adoptee community gathers on Governors Island October 25 for a fall festival outing
On October 25, a New York community organization for Chinese adoptees gathered near Chinatown and took the ferry to Governors Island for a fall festival outing. The group met at 10:10 a.m. at Slip 7, 10 South Street, and rode the 10:30 a.m. ferry to the island, bound for Pumpkin Point. Attendance was free, with optional donations suggested; each participant could pick one pumpkin at Pumpkin Point and needed to bring their own bag, and the island also offered a haunted house and fall-foliage walks, with food at extra cost. After arriving, the group strolled together to take in the autumn atmosphere before choosing pumpkins, spending a Sunday morning in relaxed conversation. The gathering was limited to Chinese adoptees — a small community get-together where people with similar life stories could pick pumpkins, walk and talk, sharing their experiences and news. Organizers reminded participants to arrive at the pier on time so as not to miss the ferry.
