****PLEASE NOTE: In light of growing concerns about the spread of COVID-19 and recommendations from officials at the local, state, and national levels to postpone large events, Adoption Network Cleveland has decided to postpone the March 2020 Journeys of Discovery Conference. We will notify everyone of the dates as soon as they have been confirmed. Thank you for your understanding and flexibility! In the meantime, please stay safe and healthy!*****

Journeys of Discovery will be a time to share, learn and grow together. Join us to explore the lifelong journey of adoption and its many facets along the way.

The conference delivers 2 full days of educational and supportive content for birthparents, adult adoptees, adoptive and kinship parents, and both mental health and child welfare professionals. Professionals can expect CEUs for Social Workers and Counselors (including ethics) and ample networking opportunities.

Being held on the 5th anniversary of “Opening Day” – the culmination of our ROAR (Restoring Ohio Adoptee Rights) campaign and the day Ohio made previously closed original birth certificates accessible to adoptees which was celebrated in Columbus by hundreds – the conference will provide an opportunity for those involved to reconvene, and those not yet involved to come join in.

Please see the Conference webpage LINK below for additional details, workshop descriptions, schedule, and presenter bios.
