IAC to Attend Teen NOW California Conferences

By Erin Grimm | Published August 31, 2011

The IAC is looking forward to attending the Annual Teen NOW California Conferences being held on September 27 in Northern California, and October 11 in Southern California. We are exhibiting at the conference to help educate professionals on the benefits of open adoption and to reinforce that adoption is an option for women facing unplanned pregnancies.

    I thought that Org. was about preventing pregnancies, and supporting young families (as in keeping their babies).
    Open adoption is not that great, it still means life long trauma for mothers and their placed children, adoptive families often suffer too. Do you ever mention the possibility of Reactive Attachment Disorder to hopeful parents?

    Hi Guest! We believe in the same 3 R’s TeenNow promotes: Rights, Respect, and Responsibility. At the Independent Adoption Center, we help pregnant women to understand their rights, respect their choices (whether or not that choice is adoption), and to provide the education that makes responsible decisions possible.

    We believe open adoption does support young families, and research backs up this belief. Reactive Attachment Disorder is caused by neglect and abuse, it is not caused by adoption.
