Feedback from parents:

Opened the door to a whole new way of looking at transracial adoption for me.”

This workshop has made me more mindful as an adoptive parent to what our son may experience as he gets older and more mindful of how I can prepare myself as the one who gets to walk alongside of him.”

Half the battle is finding constructive ways to talk about hard things. This workshop has provided just that. We are so grateful for this unique & gracious context!”

The balance of provocations/prompts, group sharing, and Cam’s insights/responses, connecting what we shared back to larger principles and constructs and his own experiences as a professional and adoptee, including a focus on the diversity of adoptee responses and needs.”

The #1 Challenge.

Most adoptive parents simply want the best for their children. But the daily process can leave them feeling overwhelmed or confused. Afraid they’ll get it wrong or maybe even make the same mistakes their parents did. Leading their child to put their trust in others to meet adoptee-related needs.

It’s not because they’re bad parents! It’s because they’re not equipped with the right language and tools.

That’s why I created the Adoptive Parenting Consultation Group (previously known as Campfire Workshop).

It’s all rooted in this one vision of Adoption Literacy… a world in which those who experience the trauma of being separated from their family are met by a village to help them tell that story… and heal from it, too.

Here’s what folks from my adoptive parenting community have learned from our time together.

Parent Supported

“The learning itself is invaluable, but the cohort model of learning with a group of fellow adoptive parents is really incredible.” -Community Participant

"The framework Cam teaches will absolutely change the trajectory of our family." -Community Participant

“All of it has been valuable and really well thought out. The variety of personal stories, dramatic representations and clinical insights is really well rounded.” -Community Participant

“I’ve enjoyed the atmosphere of non-judgement while we are all learning together. That all of us are at different stages but all relate to the immense learning we all have to do to support our kids.” -Community Participant

"We really appreciated specific ideas and information on how to really engage in the parenting model. We are seeing massive changes in our home already!" -Community Participant

Meet Cam

His work has been featured by TEDx Minneapolis, CBS Minnesota, National Council for Adoption, Christianity Today, University of Minnesota School of Social Work, and Center for Adoption Support and Education.

Cam is both an alum and training facilitator for the cohort-based Permanency and Adoption Competency Certificate, which includes over 70 hours of continued education delivered through University of Minnesota’s Center for Advanced Studies in Child Welfare - to increase the number of qualified permanency and adoption mental health and child welfare professionals across MN who are able to work in collaborative, cross-disciplinary, and multicultural contexts.

His book The Adoptee’s Journey: From Loss and Trauma to Healing and Empowerment addresses the intersection of adoption, mental health, and social responsibility.

Personal & Professional

"In the classroom he blends a depth of clinical experience with firsthand perspective to draw meaningful connections between mental health and the lived experience of adoptees in a way that is applicable and engaging." -Elizabeth Keely Vandre, MSW, LGSW | University of Minnesota Center for Advanced Studies in Child Welfare

Community Sharpened Together

“One of the biggest take aways for us is the tools for how to serve our son! We are practicing each day and he is constantly showing affection and coming to us to initiate conversations that he used to just keep inside. This training is such a gift to our family!” -Community Participant

Adoption isn’t a one-time event.

Your child’s post-adoption support shouldn’t be either.

The Adoptive Parenting Consultation Group is a fellowship of real people, committed to real and lasting growth, not just for themselves but for each other, their growing families and those growing within them, and for the dynamic needs in their local communities to which they’ve been called to see and serve.
