All participants will have the opportunity to learn from one another, gain a deeper understanding of one's own adoption or foster care experience and hear from nationally-known experts on the latest in research, public policy development, clinical practice, support and adoption reform.
No matter how you are touched by adoption, there will be something of interest for you each day.
