Talking with Your Child About Adoption

What will your child ask you about being adopted? When can you expect it? How will you know what to say? This workshop has become a foundation for hundreds of adoptive parents who want to plan ahead for both predictable and unpredictable questions from their children. The presenter will help parents develop comfortable communication styles about all topics related to adoption.
