This event is hosted by Family Matters 1st and Harvard Legal Aid Bureau.

Have you been impacted by DCF, foster care, adoption, kinship care, or family separation?

Join Family Matters 1st and the Harvard Legal Aid Bureau for a powerful community conversation where impacted parents, adoptees, former foster youth, advocates, and family members can connect, learn about their rights, and share their experiences.

🗣️ We especially want to hear from adoptees and former foster youth. Your lived experiences matter and deserve to be part of the conversation as we work toward a child welfare system that prioritizes family preservation, support, and dignity.

Families should not be separated simply because they are facing poverty related reasons . Enough of this legacy of family separation and kidnapping black children from their families. Join us as we discuss solutions, advocacy, and ways to elevate the voices of those most impacted by the system.
