Wednesday, March 20th/Thursday, March 21st/Friday, March 22nd, I will be at the INEA Congress. The congress will be an event at which we look at intercountry adoption from various perspectives. I will share my expertise during my keynote address, “Reclaiming Birth Origins for Transnational Adoptees: Reculturation, Identity, and Birth Search,” where I will introduce participants to the process of reculturation and discuss its role in adoptees’ search for origins.

The congress will take place at the Rijtuigenloods in Amersfoort. Tickets are available at http://www.inea.events/congres.
I look forward to seeing you there!
