About Cam
What is Adoption Literacy?
Want to understand the framework behind my approach? Adoption Literacy (AL) is my peer-reviewed framework for understanding and responding to the short- and long-term needs of people who've experienced changes in permanency through family separation, foster care, kinship placements, reunification, and adoption. AL is designed to help professionals, adoptees, and families move beyond the confusion of traditional "grateful adoptee" narratives to clarity, empowerment, and adoptee-informed care coordination.

Why Adoptees Need a New Kind of Village
In his TEDx talk, Cam introduces Adoption Literacy for understanding the emotional and societal impacts of adoption - so communities can help adoptees reclaim their narratives, heal, and thrive. He shares four key relational cues to equip parents, professionals, and allies to be part of lasting positive change.
The Adoptee's Journey
Cam explores the nuances and complexities of the adoptee experience, revealing how history and faith communities have shaped adoption practices and outcomes over time. Through Adoption Literacy, Cam offers a path for adoptees to discover agency, embrace identity, and strengthen meaningful relationships across all their family systems.
