Barker Adoption: Adoption/Foster Care Conference

Barker Adoption's 30th Annual Adoption and Foster Care Conference  -  March 16 2024

The Barker Adoption Foundation has invited Rainbow Families to their 30th Annual Adoption and Foster Care Conference, dedicated to exploring the world of adoption and providing invaluable insights and strategies for success.  This event is an opportunity to come together as a community, learn, connect, and feel even more empowered on your adoption journey.

Hear inspiring stories and meet fellow families who, like you, have either embarked on the journey of adopting or are current adoptive parents. You will also have the opportunity to engage with experts who specialize in supporting families through their adoption journey, as well as learn more about discussion topics such as Inside transracial adoption, Becoming an Inclusive Family, and more.

Barker is offering Rainbow Families a 35% discount -  use "Rainbow" when you register

The discount can also be used for their "Teen Connections" for teens aged 13-18 who would like to attend (this will take place during the conference).   Teen Connections is a day of connection, storytelling, and resiliency building. Alec Ingold, Adoptee and NFL Player, will be engaging with participants, and several of the clinicians for the day are adult adoptees. During this program, teens will explore ways to develop self-respect and self-compassion. Resiliency is the heart of our Teen Connections conference. This theme is a celebration of the strength, adaptability and determination.
