Panel

“Adoptees and their adoptive parents are very often on different wave lengths, [and have] different ways of being in the world...which can make communication more difficult” -Joe Soll, LCSW & author of Adoption Healing. Join us as we strive to increase growth and connection for adoptive families through dialogue, and a closer look at some of the similarities and differences among adoptee experiences.

Before the holidays COFAF collected a list of questions from adoptive and foster parents, and Encompass Adoptees took these questions to a group of adult adoptees to get a variety of perspectives on the answers. On May 16, three of these adoptees will come to share their personal experiences as well as the compiled answers given by the group of adoptees. The original questions will be answered in a panel format, and opportunity will be given to ask additional related questions.
Donations are much Appreciated by both organizations.
