Register Here

Dear valued partners and community stakeholders,
We are thrilled to extend to you a unique opportunity to experience "Reckoning with the Primal Wound," a compelling documentary. Following the screening, we invite you to join a panel discussion featuring the film's creator and distinguished adoption experts.

By registering for this event, you will gain exclusive access to the film for an entire week before the panel discussion. This will allow you the flexibility to watch it at your convenience and arrive prepared with your thoughts, feedback, and questions.

This documentary, a collaborative effort between filmmaker and adoptee, Rebecca Autumn Sansom, and her biological mother, Jill Hawkins, Ph.D., delves into the profound subject of relinquishment trauma, also known as the primal wound. It offers a unique perspective from both sides of the adoption experience.

As Sansom herself shares, "The book 'The Primal Wound' introduced me to an alternative narrative about adoption, one that resonated deeply with my feelings of loss and grief—a perspective I had never encountered until I came across Verrier's remarkably insightful words."

We look forward to your participation in this enlightening event.
REGISTER BY 10/31/23 TO OBTAIN THE PRIMAL WOUND LINK!!
