Information about workshops that I conduct
is regularly updated and posted on this web site. I may be offering
groups or speaking in your area in the near future, so please check
in for current information and feel free to send e-mail. I currently
offer counseling, consultation, in-service training, and groups.
My focus is talking with children about adoption, donor methods
of family building, and their origins.
Post Adoption Workshops for Parents
These special workshops are for couples and single parents who have
recently adopted children and are beginning to deal with some of
the early issues of adoption. The premise of these workshops is that
adoption can be a healthy way to create a family. Therefore the model
is educational. Groups include time for discussion and questions.
| Topics include but are
not limited to: |
| • |
When to tell your child about adoption
|
| • |
How to discuss adoption with your
child |

How much to tell your child about
adoption |

ones, schools and others about Adoption |

| • |
