January 2025 Aspects of Adoption
- Presenter: Dr Penny Walters
- Date: Tuesday January 21, 2025
- Webinar Description:
This session will discuss the practical realities, the excitement and
pain of researching a ‘new’ family. We will look at the invaluable
information that can be revealed to adopted people through DNA testing.
Reunions may not go as well as expected, so some adopted people can find
a lot of satisfaction in finding other relatives, or constructing an
ancestral tree, all of which can help with the impact on identity and
personal narratives. Penny will reflect briefly on her own adoption
story, and discuss the variety of ethical dilemmas that can arise.
