PAC-UK Conference 'Voices of birth parents: Loss, hope and change' (20 October 2021)

Our 'Voices of birth parents: Loss, hope and change' conference took place on Wednesday 20 October during National Adoption Week 2021 and was a huge success, with 250 people attending on the day.
During the event we premiered our brand new 'The forgotten voices of birth families' short film, that you can watch within this video and as a separate video on our PAC-UK RUclips channel.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to this conference; co-hosts, presenters, attendees and those who worked hard behind the scenes.
A huge, huge thank you to our incredible PAC-UK Birth Parent Support Group who shared their personal experiences in our 'The forgotten voices of birth families' short film.

I had wanted to attend this training in October but have viewed this video twice now. Every time I learn so much more. Thank you to all the beautiful birth mothers for the love and pain they have shared. Also thank you to PAC-UK for doing such a wonderful job. I truly appreciated everything I heard. Will use it in my adoption practice, I promise. Thank you 🙏❤️🙏
