CULTURE, RACE AND IDENTITY IN FOSTER CARE/ADOPTION

culture different than the adoptive parents. You will have the opportunity to ask
questions in this open and honest discussion.

• Are raising a child who is a different race, culture, or ethnicity
• Are curious about having friends and mentors for your trans-racially adopted child
• Are wondering what you can do to help your child in their identity formation
• Have wanted to know how raising biological children is different than adopted children
