Join us as we engage in a candid conversation with clinician Cameron Lee Small, author of The Adoptee’s Journey: From Loss and Trauma to Healing and Empowerment. Along with being a powerful memoir, The Adoptee’s Journey serves as a tool for all who wish to support those touched my adoption. As Cam shares. “Adoption is often framed by happy narratives, but the reality is that many adoptees struggle with unaddressed trauma and issues of identity and belonging. Adoptees often spend the majority of their youth without the language to explore the grief related to adoption or the permission to legitimize their conflicting emotions.” Cam describes these challenges beautifully, while also providing special focus on the impact of religious discourse on adoption narratives and identities.

He formed his own private practice, Therapy Redeemed, in 2018 to raise awareness and respond to the mental health needs of adoptees and their families wherever they may be in their adoption journey. Cam’s worldwide vision for adoptee-centered advocacy is evident through his 1:1 counseling services, live workshops and support groups, Masterclass trainings, and his unique blend of content creation/collaboration across diverse media channels. His book The Adoptee’s Journey: From Loss and Trauma to Healing and Empowerment (forthcoming through InterVarsity Press June 2024) will address the intersection of adoption, mental health, and social justice. Cam’s personal insight stands honestly next to his professional acumen, making him a transformative force within the adoptee community and throughout the fields of advocacy and mental health.
