UPDATE: The webinar went well. I’m curious to hear from people who participated, since I could not see or hear the audience. You can leave your comments below, if you like.
Above is a preview from the slideshow I will present at the July 13 webinar sponsored by Adoptees Have Answers. It is not too late to register!
I promise you, this presentation will be thought-provoking, if not controversial. I will share my latest thinking about the sometimes tense relations between adoptees and parents, and the advantages of being a parent AS an adoptee. I’ll also be discussing strategies for how parents can take on ally behaviors from a social justice perspective. And I’ll address how we adoptees need allies, and why they are so hard to find. Together we will explore: Can parents really be allies to their adopted children? What is an ally anyway?
