Dealing with teachers and schools can be trying for adoptive parents. Share and acquire ideas that help educate teachers and daycare providers in making school projects sensitive to diverse families. Share ideas about working with the school system in meeting the special needs of adoptive children.
October 24 Culture and Heritage
Whether adopted internationally or domestically, research shows that it is important that adopted children make a positive connection to their birth culture and heritage. Join us as we help each other explore questions such as:
• How do we help our children make these culture/heritage connections?
• Is there such a thing as too much “culture”?
• How do we make sure they feel connected and a part of their adoptive culture and heritage?
• What resources are available to help?
