You have been talking to your child about adoption since he came home. But what about the time he spends at school? What does his teacher know about adoption? About birth parents? Does she know how to help him answer why he doesn't look like his mom?
Join Debbie Riley, the Chief Executive Officer of The Center for Adoption Support and Education, Inc. (C.A.S.E.), as she discusses how adoptive parents can educate the educators.
This webinar will help you:
* Talk to teachers about creating an adoption-sensitive environment
* Educate teachers on managing discussions about adoption in school
* Discover how much of your child's story to share
* Learn how to handle some standard school projects (family trees, baby pictures)
Your purchase confirmation email will include a link to submit questions to Ms. Riley.
This webinar will not be available for purchase after the event. You will only receive access to the recorded version if you register for the live event.
