About Concerned United Birthparents Annual Retreat:

We are so excited to be hosting our annual retreat this year and hope you consider joining us for a weekend of learning, connection, and healing. We have some terrific sessions planned with authors, therapists, filmmakers, and legislative advocates. But don’t worry; we have plenty of time to relax and connect with each other, which is always important to our retreat attendees. We welcome anyone to our retreat, including birth/first mothers, fathers, siblings, adoptees, adoptive families, and professionals working with our community. Below is the session schedule and information about our hotel and air/ground transportation.
