This interactive session will have participants recognize parental loss through TPR, understand how adoption finalization is bittersweet, and why it is important to further study and explore how children, from newborns to youth, may express this experience. Attendees will hear about the TPR and adoption journey from the viewpoint of child adoptees, adoptive parents, and biological parents. Further, resources will be shared for attorneys, social workers, and others, to address the mental, emotional, and physiological needs of these children. Finally, participants will craft the brave conversations that advocates should be having with prospective adoptive parents, to better equip them to raise and love the children they plan to adopt.
