"The conference theme was 'Whole Life Adoption,' addressing adoption across the lifespan. Nancy J. Harper, executive director of Adoption Community of New England Inc., said 'We reach out and support all members of the adoption triad (adoptive families, birthparents and adopted children).' She said one conference goal was to support less-represented members of the triad, in particular birth families and adult adopted individuals."One of the workshops, titled "Talking with Expectant Parents," focused on helping adoptive parents understand how best to communicate with birth parents before, during, and after the adoption process.
