... Read moreThe Adoption Changemaker Conference scheduled for November 8th is a significant event that aims to unite diverse voices across the adoption constellation—including birthparents, adoptees, adoptive parents, and professionals—to foster real and lasting change in adoption narratives and practices. Highlighting the event are keynotes from April Dinwoodie, a leading expert on adoption identity and racial justice, and Catelynn and Tyler Baltierra, known from Teen Mom, who bring raw, authentic perspectives on birthparents' experiences and adoption-related challenges. Their involvement underscores the conference's commitment to amplifying often overlooked voices within adoption conversations. Among the multiple expertly curated panels are discussions on how social media shapes adoption stories, the ethical considerations around consent and representation, and how advocacy is working to reform systems from within policy, healthcare, and education sectors. These sessions explore the power and pitfalls of visibility online, and emphasize accountability and inclusivity in adoption reforms—especially for vulnerable families. Another key workshop focuses on open adoption dynamics, guiding adoptees and birthparents on maintaining healthy boundaries, fostering trust, and managing evolving relationships. The panel on listening across the adoption spectrum brings together stakeholders for nuanced dialogue prioritizing shared learning and healing. An important spotlight session led by Gretchen Sisson, PhD, addresses birthparent experiences, stigma, and media representation to help reshape public understanding. This evidence-based approach highlights why centering birthparent voices is essential in ethical adoption practices. Overall, the conference is not just a collection of feel-good stories but a platform for changemakers committed to reform, healing, and equity in adoption. For anyone invested in adoption—whether as a family member, advocate, or professional—this event offers inspiring insights and practical actions to support ethical adoption journeys. Tickets and further details are accessible through the provided Eventbrite link, allowing participants to engage in this national conversation virtually from 8 AM to 9 PM EST on November 8th. This gathering reinforces the need to support adoptee mentoring nonprofits and advance education around lived adoption experiences.
