We serve all those touched by adoption and concerned about adoption issues. Although our focus is on birthparents, our membership includes adoptees, adoptive parents, and professionals.

 

Concerned United Birthparents (CUB) is the only national organization focused on birthparents – their experiences, healing and wisdom.  CUB serves all those touched by adoption and all who are concerned about adoption issues.  Although our focus is on birthparents, long the forgotten people of the adoption community, we welcome adoptees, adoptive parents, and professionals.  We find that we all have much to learn from each other and that sharing our feelings and experiences benefits all of us.

Each year, CUB hosts a healing retreat for all members of the adoption triad, and all who are interested in learning more about the adoption experience.  We usually meet by the shore so there is beauty and space for reflection and rest in between our sessions.  You won’t find the schedule packed with too many choices.  We focus on a core program so we can make the most of our annual time together.
