Rappaport; Neighborhood Development Company; RBC Wealth Management; Linowes and Blocher, LLP, and the Minehan-Luck family for their generous support. Adoption… not a one-time event, but an enduring commitment, even when the going gets tough… Few these days disagree with the once-revolutionary concept that the “adoption life cycle” exists, with birth parents, adoptive parents, and adoptees facing developmental tasks at each stage of the life cycle. And whether they interact regularly or meet only in their minds and hearts and souls, the members of the triad are without question a significant presence in each other’s lives. What are the responsibilities of each member? Was the original commitment real and deep, or superficial and mere words mouthed as a means to an end? How can we find ways to transform the original pledge into an unwavering life- long commitment to stay connected? And as open adoption has increasingly become the norm, we surely acknowledge and applaud the reality that birth parents are no longer the silent partners but rather committed participants. Whether one is a birth parent, an adoptive parent, or an adopted person, the powerful efects of adoption can take us by surprise as we attempt to navigate life’s normal passages. Our commitment sometimes falters. It seems too hard. At such times, post-adoption supports are needed, and each of us must be bold and courageous enough to seek help. Being aware of the ways in which adoption may afect us at each stage of our lives can give us the necessary wisdom not just to survive but to strengthen the original commitment we felt at placement. Join us on March 21st for the opportunity to: ● Hear some of the nation’s foremost post-adoption experts speak on the profound ways in which adoption shapes our life journeys ● Understand how the losses of adoptees, birth parents, and adoptive parents may reappear when they least expect it ● Hear the results of a groundbreaking longitudinal study on openness in adoption ● Gain insights into the way adoption impacts each stage in a child’s education ● Explore the ways in which the journey may look diferent in transracial, transcultural, and older child adoption ● Learn about the ways contact with birth relatives may afect identity development ● Explore how cultural attitudes, laws, and social media contribute to enhanced openness in international adoption ● Learn first-hand what it is like to parent children who have experienced trauma ● Embrace the need for significant post-adoption services ● Exchange ideas on how all members of the family of adoption can remain committed to each other’s needs throughout their lifetime Read on for the conference agenda and descriptions of breakout sessions, or visit our website at www.barkeradoptionfoundation.org.
