Saturday April 29th, 2006 marks Adoption Forum's one-day Spring Symposium! The day's agenda addresses past attendee feedback requesting further in-depth exploration of emotional and psychological issues connected to adoption, and is hosted at the
Sheraton Park Ridge in King of Prussia/Valley Forge, PA.
At 8:30 the symposium begins with registration and free continental breakfast.
The first session runs 9:00AM- 11:30AM and is "Who am I? Identity Development and How It Is Affected By Adoption" presented by Robert Hafetz (adoptee and author of "Not Remembered, Never Forgotten", a great book). With discussions and personal stories and group interaction, the workshop explores how adoption affects the development of one's identity.
11:30 to 1:30 is lunch and a free concert with Zara Phillips.
After lunch, the second session (1:30PM- 4:00PM) is "The Impact of Having Children on The Core Issues of Grief and Loss" led by Zara Phillips (adoptee and author of "Chasing Away The Shadows"). The session explores how having children can reawaken previously buried issues related to adoptee grief and birthparent relinquishment, and how adoption affects our parenting.

Adoption Forum is a registered non-profit organization. This looks like a day inspiring much reflection, innerwork and development, plus the fellowship of being with people like you who understand and share the issues. Though members receive discounted admission, you need not be a member to attend. Seating is limited for these more intimate workshops, so register today.
