Happy to be told I’m being unreasonable but I feel extremely angry that AD1(15) has been sent an invitation to this event below, run by PAC-UK/The Family Rights Group. We are not currently in a good place as an adoptive family, after 15 years, so this may be clouding my judgement somewhat. Just to add, Lifelong Links is about ‘reconnecting’ children with people from their past, via a Family Group Conference. I’m probably being over sensitive but I’m feeling today like the world’s worst treated and totally unpaid, long-term babysitter.
Here are some suggested organisations that offer expert advice on adoption.

I think this could be very destabilising for an adopted teen. Adoption isn't "being in care", it's a stable alternative to that. I share your discomfort with this.
Teens are not well known for their mature decision making, self preservation, emotional management. I think this is very ill thought out.
Who gave your DD this flyer? I would be having strong words with them.

You fought a valiant fight, I’ve been much less polite 😄
