Education

The way adoption is practiced and messaged in our homes, churches, and communities has a real and serious impact on the physical, emotional, and spiritual health of all involved in adoption. For this reason, we are passionate about educating faith communities about the many complexities of adoption and how to better support adoptees and birth parents.

Please browse through some of our writings, teachings, and interviews below, where some of the members of our Faith Collective for Truth and Healing in Adoption share perspectives on the intertwining of adoption and religion.

We are available to speak to pastors and church groups to bring crucial lived-experience perspectives often missing from conversations about adoption, but desperately needed for healing and wholeness. Please inquire through our Contact page.
