DESCRIPTION 
 
This live webinar workshop covers the basics of communication with children (through age 12) to help them understand their adoption story.
 
Participants will learn:
 
  • What children understand about adoption at different developmental stages.
  • How this knowledge provides parents with a guide for when, how and what to share with their children at different ages, including information that parents perceive to be difficult, negative, or painful.
  • Engaging birth family members in this process in open adoptions.
  • Children’s comprehension of how other people in their lives perceive adoption.
 
Practical advice is offered to help parents anticipate their children’s questions and concerns and learn effective, appropriate ways of responding. Content in this workshop can be tailored to specific audience needs such as focusing on early or later years.
 
Participants also learn how to use C.A.S.E.’s unique card game, 52 Ways to Talk about Adoption to promote family adoption discussion.
 
The card game, 52 Ways to Talk about Adoption, can be purchased separately in C.A.S.E.’s online store.
