Café Inquiry (Online) - A Fresh Look at Adoption

This event is held online. To see the Zoom link, RSVP and look at the right hand panel.
Many people who want to restrict access to abortion support the idea that unwanted children can simply be adopted. But is this a benign solution to the issue of unwanted pregnancies? It has been recognized that there are a number of problems that can arise in people who have been adopted, and the cause of these problems is not entirely clear. At the next Café Inquiry, we will discuss issues around the practice of adoption, looking at the experiences of adopters, adoptees, and the biological parents. Join us as we discuss this timely topic!
Visit https://www.michiganhumanists.org/event/ci-gr-2023-06-11/ for recommended readings prefacing this week's discussion.

Café Inquiry starts with a short introduction of the day’s topic, followed by casual discussion.

This event is free and open to the public. Donations appreciated, but not expected.

Attendees are able to future propose topics which would align with Michigan Humanist’s purpose: from atheism, agnosticism, humanism, secularism, and freethinking to broader subjects in science and humanities, such as religion, philosophy, social issues, politics, evolution, morality, ethics, and psychology.

Café Inquiry (Grand Rapids) meets each month on the second and fourth Sunday.
