REWIND with Arise - Life Story Work

Arise recently hosted a 3 week series focusing on Openhearted Adoption in partnership with two adult adoptees, Angela Tucker and Sara-Jayne King and due to popular demand we are making the recordings of these events available until the end of August.

Openness in Adoption is often thought to reference the nature of contact between Adoptees and their Biological Families but it is about more than just this. Openness references the attitude and way in which families engage with all aspects of adoption: How we talk about adoption, to children as well as outside of our home; how we engage with the fullness of who our children are (their race, roots and traits which may well reflect their biological families such as a particular interest or aptitude) and how we create space to engage with this.

Let's Get Practical: Life Story Work

How do we develop openness from Day 1 or going forward from where you are today? Join us as we look practically at what life story work entails as well as ideas for how to make this work.
