Just published in Accord Journal Summer 2025 Issue 

After my first article introduced the concept of Adoption Literacy to church leaders and community members, this follow-up provides practical, actionable guidance for implementing the H.O.P.E. framework in your local church setting.

“Language and narratives based in ‘religiosity’ can sometimes minimise adoptees’ experiences of loss and trauma.”

Churches worldwide are recognizing the need to become more trauma-informed and adoption-literate. This article provides the practical roadmap many congregations have been missing.

Personal Note from Cam

This Adoption Literacy framework represents years of clinical work, community engagement, and my personal healing journey. Seeing it published in spaces like TEDx and Accord feels almost sacred as I press on to cultivate adoption-literate care right here in my neighborhood and across the earth.

I hope it continues to reach church leaders who are ready to nurture their communities into places where every adoptee can experience in person the kind of villages they need.

Thank you for being part of such an important movement 

Cheering for us always.
