  based on personal and professional experience. She’ll approach the tricky
  family situations that arise during family search and reunion using a len

DESCRIPTION:DNA Family Search and Reunion Viewed Through a Bioethics Lens\n
 \nIntuitively\, we each have a sense of what’s right and wrong. That sense
  is influenced by the family\, culture\, and time period in which we are r
 aised and live. When deciding to search for an adopted child or biological
  family\, there are points of a decision where we ask\, “What’s the right 
 thing to do?” It’s not always clear\, and this is where discussions around
  “ethics” come in. \n\nIn this presentation\, Brianne Kirkpatrick - a gene
 tic counselor and family member of an adoptee - will offer a perspective b
 ased on personal and professional experience. She’ll approach the tricky f
 amily situations that arise during family search and reunion using a lens 
 of bioethics. Brianne’s exploration of case examples and practical advice 
 and resources will benefit all of those in the adoption constellation and
