If you are a parent of an adoption loss, watch the special one-hour informational video session shown above explaining the PowerPoint.
We are excited to announce a call for submissions for a new collection of stories that delve into the experiences of families separated by adoption. This initiative aims to challenge the stigmas and sweeping generalizations that often surround mothers and fathers who have experienced loss. We encourage you to share your heartfelt narratives, as your unique perspectives contribute significantly to a broader understanding of the complexities involved in adoption. Together, can foster a powerful dialogue that honors every story and amplifies every voice, creating a compassionate space for reflection and connection. Join us in this meaningful endeavor!
​
We invite you to share your unique perspective in our upcoming collection, "Adoptionland II: Adopted? or Abducted? What's Your Story?" This is a powerful opportunity for those most impacted by adoption to contribute their voices and stories. We welcome submissions of up to 3000 words, with 1500 words being the ideal lengthapproximately 5-6 pages double-spaced or 2.5-3 pages single-spaced, 12 pt font).
​
Join us in creating a meaningful dialogue about the complexities of adoption. Your story matters, and we can't wait to hear it! If you are a parent of adoption-loss, a special informational session on writing your life story can be found here.
