Shifting the Focus.
Policies on adoption have often focused on adoptive parents, rather than the well being of adoptees and birth parents. The Open Adoption Project podcast, hosted by Shaunn and Lanette Nelson, adoptive parents from Utah, are back with another crossover episode on Fostering Conversations. They aim to flood the podcast sphere with adoption-related content, sharing perspectives and opinions to foster learning and understanding.
In this featured episode, they highlighted the importance of openness, honesty, and listening to adoptee voices. They urged adoptive parents to get involved in promoting adoptee rights and to hold adoption agencies accountable for their practices.
The hosts shared four key tips:
- Removing shame and secrecy
- Promoting honesty and open communication
- Listening to adoptee voices
- Getting involved in advocating for adoptee rights
Utah Foster Care is also excited to have Lanette and Shaun Nelson host a panel of adoptees at our 2024 Annual Symposium April 25th 8:30-4pm, in Park City, Utah. The public is welcome and can register here.
