In the interest of sharing resources on adoption parenting, here, below is a program (with apologies for the short notice) about a 'Webinar' you can join to learn from the well-known author and adoption therapist Debbie Riley, about the special issues of adopted teens and parenting adopted teens. I've asked the workshop organizers if a parent could join in by phone from Hong Kong, and they confirmed that we can. The time is 9:00 p.m. U.S. Eastern Standard time. You can sign up via the Web link in the notice below, pay the fee online, and they will send you an e-mail with login information before the event. Instead of calling their toll-free number, you would call long-distance directly to the Webinar host in Colorado.
That phone # is 303.248.0285. If you run into any problems, you can contact: Sean Delehant, LCPC, Adoption Therapist, The Center for Adoption Support and Education, Inc., (301) 476-8525 x24, Website http://www.adoptionsupport.org/
Yours in adoptive parenthood,
