The Adoption Changemakers Conference 2025 is a pivotal event aimed at amplifying diverse voices and catalyzing meaningful change within the adoption community. Taking place in New York City, this full-day conference brings together adoptees, birthparents, adoptive families, and professionals to discuss critical issues surrounding adoption, family secrecy, racial identity, and systemic reform. Among the conference highlights are keynote speakers and panelists who provide unique perspectives on transracial adoption, donor conception, and the evolving narratives in adoption media. For instance, April Dinwoodie, a transracial adoptee and DEIB consultant, shares her experiences and insights on diversity and inclusion. Meanwhile, Laura High, a comedian and donor-conceived advocate, addresses the impact of fertility fraud and the intersection of humor and education in advocating for family rights. The conference also addresses complex family dynamics and secrets that can arise in adoptive settings, underscoring the need for transparency, healing, and community support. Discussions around the consent, monetization, and representation in social media emphasize the power and pitfalls of digital platforms in shaping adoption narratives. Advocacy and action panels focus on systemic change from within, highlighting efforts by leaders like Becky Fawcett and Ashley Mitchell who work tirelessly to improve resources and care for birthmothers, adoptive families, and adoptees. Additionally, healthcare professionals such as Dr. Lisa Chism bring attention to the medical and emotional well-being of adoptees through a specialized, knowledgeable lens. The conference’s constellation chat sessions promote listening across the spectrum of adoption experiences. Stories shared by Tony Hynes, PhD, and Dr. Abby Hasberry illuminate the intersectionality of race, identity, and trauma that many adoptees navigate. These deep conversations foster understanding and build resilience within the adoption community. Together, the Adoption Changemakers Conference 2025 fosters a collaborative space where participants explore the realities behind adoption myths and stereotypes. It calls for informed, empathetic approaches to adoption policy, media representation, and family support networks. Those interested can register online and contribute to building a more inclusive and truthful discourse that benefits all touched by adoption.
