This session is in person only.
How do we connect potential families with children in need of homes? This film follows several children in South Mississippi who are part of an adoption picnic where potential parents can meet children looking for families. As one child describes, “You are on display. You’ve got all these people watching you, and you are wearing this shirt that singles you out. You’re on the spot.” The film highlights the positives and negatives of this approach to adoption
After viewing this program and rapping with others, you will be able to:
1) Discuss the pros, cons, and ethics of this practice; and,
2) Brainstorm other ways to promote adoption of youth and the role therapists can play in this process for those youth and the potential families.
