On Tuesday 20 August, Alexa Russell-Matthews,  Adoption Advocacy Manager from Arise joined Benito Vergotine in conversation. 

If you are adoptive parents or an adult adoptee, or just thinking about adopting a child – this Conference is a must. 

Listen to Alexa’s conversation with Benito here: Arise Adoption Conference

The Cape Town Arise Adoption Conference is back for 2019! This one day conference is designed for all current and prospective adoptive parents wanting to learn more about the core issues of adoption. It’s also great for extended families and friends of adoptive families.

This year we have new content and resources, break out sessions and interactive talks as well as live testimonies from adoptive parents and an adult adoptee – so even if you’ve attended one of our conferences before, we’d love to host you again!

We’ll cover these topics:

-Theological Framework for Adoption

-Attachment

-Grief and Loss

-Infertility and Adoption

-Blended Families

-Single Parent Adoption

-The Legal Process

-Racial Identity in Transracial Adoption
