Dr. Joyce Maguire Pavao is the Founder and CEO of both Adoption Resource Center (ARC) and Center For Family Connections (CFFC).

ARC was founded in 1973. The ARC Summer Intensives, which began in 1985 (26th Anniversary), are based on Dr. Pavao’s Normative Crises in the Development of the Adoptive Family framework, her years of clinical experience, and her consulting and training expertise. The Intensives utilize family systems theory, which is the basis of Dr. Pavao’s work. Systemic thinking is woven throughout the design of the Intensives.

Professionals, and other people who live in the world of adoption, have come to the ARC Summer Intensives from England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, France, Italy, Korea, Spain, Denmark, Poland, and approximately 40 of the United States. A rich exchange of best practice ideas and theories happens each year at the Intensives.

Dr. Pavao is in private practice in Cambridge, MA, working under her 30-year-old Pre/Post Adoption Consulting and Training (PACT) program. At the Riverside Community Care (riversidecc.org) After Adoption Consulting and Training project, she continues with her mission created at the Center for Family Connections:a  variety of trainings to parents, agencies, schools, and professionals, including mental health workers, social workers, judges, and attorneys.

About the Author

Musings of the Lame was started in 2005 primarily as a simple blog recording the feelings of a birthmother as she struggled to understand how the act of relinquishing her first newborn so to adoption in 1987 continued to be a major force in her life. Built from the knowledge gained in the adoption community, it records the search for her son and the adoption reunion as it happened. Since then, it has grown as an adoption forum encompassing the complexity of the adoption industry, the fight to free her sons adoption records and the need for Adoptee Rights, and a growing community of other birthmothers, adoptive parents and adopted persons who are able to see that so much what we want to believe about adoption is wrong.
