October 28, 2025 Adoption unfiltered book tour
slc, utah 7:30 MST
Salt Lake City Main Library Auditorium
210 East 400 South, Salt Lake City, UT 84111
What is too often missed in conversations about adoption? Join the authors of Adoption Unfiltered, together with a panel of others from the Salt Lake City area with expertise in the many complexities of adoption, for an important and timely discussion around ethics in adoption. How do adoption practices and messages affect those who live and breathe adoption every day? What does the future hold for people considering adoption? How can everyone work together to bring adoption practices out of the twentieth century for the betterment of the 100 million families affected by adoption? It’s not a stretch to believe that with the benefit of information from the voices in the evening’s panel, we can re-envision healthier and ethical ways of doing adoption when it’s truly necessary.
Join us at the Main Library in Salt Lake City on Tuesday, October 28, 2025 at 6:30 pm to meet the authors of Adoption Unfiltered: Revelations from Adoptees, Birth Parents, Adoptive Parents, and Allies and learn from a timely and engaging conversation on "Ethics in Adoption" with local experts in adoption.
