 Adoption Loss: Healing Grief\, Building Attachment\n\nBuilding a family th
 rough adoption can be a loving solution that addresses the needs of all me
 mbers of the kinship network.  The roots of the adoptive family tree\, how
 ever\, germinate from the complex soil of loss.  This is true for birth mo
 thers\, adoptees and\, often\, for adoptive moms too.  Acknowledging this 
 parallel loss together can be a useful bridge in building a satisfying and
  trusting bond in the family.  It can also light the path for healthy inte
 gration of all members of the kinship network into the narrative. This pre
 sentation will explore the multi-faceted role of ambiguous loss and disenf
 ranchised grief in adoption and how healing these unresolved feelings can 
 allow pathways of connection to blossom.  \n\nAbout Amy Geller\, LCSW\nAmy

 ce in Northern New Jersey. She received her BA Psychology from The George 
 Washington University (1992) and her MSW from the New York University Scho
