All Families Matter: A Conversation with Hilary Rosen & Adam Pertman about Election Year Politics, LGBT Families and What's Good for Our Kids
The Election Year political discourse can leave LGBT families (among many others) feeling misunderstood, misrepresented and left out of the conversation entirely. Center Families and the Evan B. Donaldson Adoption Institute are proud to bring together two of the nation's most prominent advocates for the full range of diverse families in our country: Political Strategist Hilary Rosen and Adoption Expert Adam Pertman. They will speak frankly about an aspect of campaign rhetoric that is seldom discussed: its impact on our children and ourselves, and how we can infuse the dialogue with sound information about the real lives of LGBT families.
