The voices of adoptees are instrumental in understanding what adoptive children experience throughout their lives. In this class participants will explore the twenty complex emotional issues adoptive parents need to understand to nurture your child and begin their healing journey. Based on the two books by adoptee Sherrie Eldridge, “20 Things Adopted Kids Wish Their Adoptive Parents Knew” & “20 Things Adoptive Parents Need to Succeed” we will highlight the importance of telling your children the truth, ways to communicate heart‐to‐heart with your child even when they trigger you, and when to seek professional help. You will hear stories and lessons from adoptive families and ways they discovered to uncover the needs of their children at the same time taking care of themselves so they could be the best healing & therapeutic parent for their child.
