The Ethics of Adoption in the 21st Century
I’m attending this conference on the 14th of this month. It looks promising. I recommend it and hope that it does bring a broader approach to the traditional adoption discourse.
Here are a few topics that will be discussed:
Racial Politics and the “Business” of Domestic Private Adoption
Relinquishment Hindsight: What We Wish the Professionals Had Told Us
Conceptualizing the Ethics of Transracial Adoption: Colonial Imperative, Reconciliation, and Anti-Oppressive Framework
Let’s NOT Talk About IT: White Privlege and Racism in Transracial Adoption
