Talking About Adoption: Sharing Difficult Stories

Talking about adoption can be difficult for a variety of reasons. When the story of their past is difficult it may be hard to decide when to share details. No matter the story, talking about adoption should not be a one-time conversation; it should be a part of your family’s everyday life.

The workshop will cover:

  • Sharing difficult history with your child and his siblings
  • Why talking about adoption is so important to your entire family
  • Guidelines for recognizing how your child's understanding of adoption changes as he develops
  • Answering questions your child may have including those with missing details
