THIS MONTH'S TOPIC: Lifebooks and Telling Your Child's Adoption Story
Many thanks to the more than 40 parents and teachers who joined our recent evening on "When Adoption Meets the Classroom." We had a fruitful discussion on several issues regarding adoption and school life; from that, we received requests to discuss Lifebooks as one way to assist us in talking with our children about their adoption journey.
At this month's Parent Support Meeting we will introduce the concept of Lifebooks and explore how they can be useful and meaningful. If you are familiar with Lifebooks and have made one for your child that you would be willing to share at the meeting (and if your child would be comfortable with you doing so), you are encouraged to bring it so that others can see examples. We will also discuss other means and ways for telling our children their adoption stories. We invite you to come and meet other adoptive parents as we learn and share our experiences!
