AKA Call for Papers

Each year the AKA Conference Committee and AKA Board of Directors strive to bring you the most knowledgeable and innovative speakers in the adoption field. If you would like to present at our 2008 conference, please submit the application to AKA by March 21, 2008.

Adoption Knowledge Affiliates is a place where adopted people, birth parents, adoptive parents and others are coming together to find a depth of understanding unimaginable before.

Whether you're seeking to form a family through adoption, seeking information about family members you have been disconnected from or just seeking knowledge about the lifelong issues in adoption, AKA provides helpful information through educational resources, on-going programs, and emotional support.

At our events you will find people of great courage, choosing to sift through past and present perceptions about adoption in order to give voice to the losses, joys and hopes found in adoption's reality. AKA is an organization where there is often a broadening of perspective, a change of heart, tears shed and relief found. AKA is a place where people are reaching out and growing
stronger.
