A brief history of National Adoption Awareness Month: how we got here, whose voices have traditionally been missing from discussions surrounding adoption, and how a group of adoptees, led by Rosita González, began using their collective voices online to tell their stories and advocate for change.
We are thrilled to announce our 2026 Create! Birthparent Arts Grant winner, Dr. Abby Hasberry. Her project, an 11-part docuseries, centers the voices of the people adoption most affects, but who are rarely asked to speak, and today she shares a little more about that project, what it takes to create a documentary, and more.
The Birthparent Support Alliance's Director, Alexis Eyler, MSW, LSW, makes clear our stand on adoption, the adoption landscape, adoption trauma, why we serve only birthparents, and why the work we is so necessary.
