offered by
Concerned Persons for Adoption
Lynne Witkin was a
social worker, adoptive parent and volunteer advocate for adoption. She also
served as president of Concerned Persons for Adoption (CPFA), the support group
for those touched by adoption. Lynne recognized the need for an annual
gathering of professionals and parents. In 1979 she pioneered the first
"Let's Talk Adoption" Conference sponsored by CPFA. This well
regarded conference continued after her passing, with the most recent one being
held virtually in March 2022.
The intent of the
Lynne Witkin scholarship is to benefit and encourage qualified social work
majors interested in pursuing a career in the area of adoption/child welfare.
There are currently over a half million children in the U.S. in foster care.
More than 100,000 of these are awaiting adoptive parents. There is a critical
need for caring, capable social workers to enter the field of child welfare -
protective services, foster care, adoption, post-adoption services and the
like, especially at this time in New Jersey.
