New Jersey Adoption Resource Clearing House

Fee: $15.00

In the United States, Adoption and Christianity have been intrinsically linked since the rise in popularity in formal adoptions first took place. However, the impact of religion on adoption practice, and on the identities of adoptees, is infrequently discussed in public discourse. In this panel discussion, adult adoptees will talk about what religion has meant to them in their lives, and how it has impacted their personal and career paths as researchers, clinicians, adoption centered organization directors, missionaries, and poets. In addition, they will share how they feel religion, and specifically, Christianity, has shaped the way we view adoption in the United States
