We are seven young people who’ve all lived in foster or group homes and had to make the type of big decisions you’re making right now. We created a video and this guide, because we wanted to help older kids and youth get a real sense of what it’s like as you’re figuring out what’s next.
Please join Registered Psychotherapist Mary-Jo Land and Provincial Parents Liaisons Joy and Kathryn during this live interactive webinar that discusses the complexities of Openness in adoption including: what openness means and what it can look like, managing your own feelings as an adoptive parent, Openness and Social Media, safety, the benefits of openness and more.
Mary Jo Land is a psychotherapist working with children and families who have experienced trauma, loss, and attachment disruption. Her insights are featured in a video series, “When We Are Very Young”.

Judith Craig Morency is a transracial, transnational, foundling adoptee from Haiti, adopted into a white Canadian family in the early 1980’s. Despite growing up in a loving family Judith always desired to know more about her roots and wanted to find her birth family. She returned to Haiti in 2007 and embarked on this incredible life-changing journey. She documented this experience in the film, "Adopted ID". Please join us as we explore transracial adoption and identities for adoptees.
