Adoption Stories
2024-11-21 17:30 - 19:00
Adoption Stories with Jo Dery and Tamara Evanson
Thursday, November 21, 6:30pm at Putney Public Library
Adoption Stories is a series of audio interviews with foster/adoptive families, adult adoptees, and adoption-support professionals in Windham County, VT.
Children in foster care should be of concern to every Vermonter. There are 1,300 children in foster care across Vermont – 150 of them are in Windham County. In the past decade, our state’s child welfare system has been, and remains, under great stress. The themes touched on in these interviews include trauma, grief, resilience, celebration, and community – as well as the role that race, class, gender, and the opioid and housing crises play in why children end up in foster care in Vermont. Through centering foster/adoptive children’s and family’s memories of the past and dreams for the future, Adoption Stories paints a picture of the complex experience of these kids and families – full of love, loss, beauty, and pain.
The Adoption Stories interviews are collected on the web at www.adoptionstoriesvt.com, and available to listen to on the Podbean app. Adoption Stories was funded in part by a Brattleboro Town Arts Fund grant.
Join creators and foster/adoptive parents Jo Dery (artist and educator) and Tamara Evanson (licensed clinical social worker and psychotherapist) at the Putney Library to learn about the project and hear from some of the participants.
