What do adoption speakers talk about when they go to schools?

Inspired by another question, I'd like to know what is discussed when an adoption speaker goes to a schools?
Is it strictly adoption, or is ther family preservation included?
Any and all details would be appriciated.

I was invited to speak at a high school in my area. They wanted to hear about my experience.
So, I told them about being sent away, and being forced against my will to surrender my child. I also told them about the civil rights violations that were part of a woman's existence in the 1960s. These rights violations included such practices as expelling pregnant students and firing pregnant workers, as well as taking babies from unmarried mothers without cause.
I also talked about my search and reunion, and my support for work in family preservation. |

I didn't know schools had adoption speakers come in to talk. Another thing to watch out for... that seems kind of like recruiting from a captive audience.
When I was in school we didn't have adoption speakers, but we did have someone come in from Birthright. She told us that when teenagers get pregnant they panic and think they have to either have an abortion or give the child up. She said that about 95% of the women they meet with, if they choose to carry to term, end up keeping their babies. They just need a little support. I don't think they had her in to talk specifically about family preservation but to get us psyched up for a fundraiser the school was doing for Birthright. If it was for educational purposes, you'd think Planned Parenthood would've been brought in too. (On the bright side, it probably did help because the two girls in my class who got pregnant contacted Birthright, and kept their babies.) |
