Rachel Boyer, MSW, LMSW
Rachel Boyer, MSW, LMSW, a social worker and transracially adopted person, provides her expertise and insight about trauma-informed and adoption-competent social work practice. She discusses how our society views adoption, identifies the gaps in adoption storytelling, discusses why those gaps have persisted and who those gaps are serving, and how we can learn to engage in adoption advocacy at the local, state, and federal level. Rachel provides concrete examples and suggestions for how to be an advocate, encouraging everyone to make their voice heard, both to provide diverse perspectives on adoption to our media and lawmakers, but also so that we can all work alongside adult adopted people, who are currently shouldering the bulk of the burden of advocacy.
