July Calendar Conversation: Why Openness Matters in Adoption

In this episode, April discusses the profound impact of adoption on identity, the importance of openness and reform, and how adoptive parents can foster a supportive environment for their children's lifelong journey of self-discovery. Takeaways     •    Adoption is a lifelong relationship, not a one-time transaction.     •    Most states still seal original birth certificates, limiting access.     •    Advocacy for openness should start with adoptive parents.     •    Human identity is not fixed at the moment of adoption.     •    Creating a culture of questions and openness benefits children.
