This learning plan is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of various aspects of adoption. The first topic, "Ground Zero - Trauma," focuses on the impact of adoption on individuals and families, including the seven core issues of adoption and the significance of Adoption Awareness Month.

Topic 1, "About Adoption," covers the history of adoption, the difference between closed and open adoption, adoption records, and the alternative model of the Stewardship Model.

Topic 2, "Adoption Rights," highlights the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the rights lost due to adoption, as well as how to access adoption information and discharge an adoption.

Topic 3, "Adoption Laws," compares adoption laws across different states, including the restrictions on rights and the government response to the Senate Inquiry into Forced Adoption.

The final topic, "Adoption Reform, Advocacy & Support," provides information on advocacy groups, social media resources, and reuniting with family members after adoption. The Forced Adoptions History Project and National and State Apologies for Forced Adoption are also covered in this topic.
