Talking About Adoption: What to Say and When to Say It

Colesville Presbyterian Church | 12800 New Hampshire Ave | Silver Spring, MD | 20904

The conference this year will focus on helping parents and children talk about adoption issues openly and honestly, using positive adoption language. Parents will learn practical, concrete strategies for sharing information at different ages and stages of development, as well as techniques for helping their child share their adoption story with others.

Children will be empowered to tell their story and respond to questions and comments in healthy and positive ways. Both parents and children will leave the conference with a higher level of confidence and comfort in discussing adoption and the many ways that families are formed.
