Welcome to the 10th Biennial Adoption Initiative Conference!

The Adoption Initiative 

St. John's University in Collaboration with Montclair State University


The Evolution of Adoption Practice: Activist and Community Perspectives

Rescheduled for Thursday, October 21 to Saturday, October 23, 2021


The turmoil and uncertainty of the Covid-19 virus is testing us all. All of us at the Adoption Initiative Conference organization are holding our communities in mind, as we face the immediate and longterm effects of this health and economic crisis that is C-19. After much consideration, though we all want to look forward to a return to normalcy sooner than later, we realize it is most efficacious to postpone the 2020 Adoption Initiative Conference to October 21 - 23, 2021. With the added planning time, we are adding a Thursday program to the conference. Thank you to all who have submitted proposals already, we'll keep them on file for next year, and we are also keeping the submissions portal open. New due dates will follow soon. In the meantime, we wish for you the strength to endure. In particular, to our Asian community members, increased racism and violence continues to escalate, as times become more desperate. Let us stand together.
