Interested in learning more about adoption in South Africa? This one-day conference addresses important topics relevant to families considering adoption, as well as special breakout sessions for current adoptive parents. Lunch, refreshments and a comprehensive resources booklet are provided, along with the opportunity to connect with adoption service providers and other adoptive families.
Topics covered include:
- Attachment
- Grief and Loss
- Parenting Older Adopted Children
- Single Parent Adoption
- Blended Families
- Special Needs and Adoption
- The Legal Process of Adoption in South Africa
- Racial Identity in Transracial Adoption
Exciting new additions to the program this year include new workshop topics (touching on issues such as infertility and special needs in adoption) as well as an extended session in the afternoon dedicated to in-depth exploration of important "post adoption" concerns.
We offer registration prices for the conference on a "sliding scale". If you are able to pay for a full-price ticket (which will cover our costs), we would appreciate your support; however, please feel free to chose one of our donor-supported ticket prices. We do not make any profit from ticket sales.
