This
interactive workshop will discuss issues, challenges and rewards as
adoptees age. Typically the focus is on the adoptee as an infant or
young child but this workshop will focus on adoption throughout the
lifespan at various developmental stages. Adoption issues can also
change over time; and families and professionals can learn what these
changes are as well as ways to help the adopted child grow to be a
healthy adopted adult. Krista uses personal and professional examples
throughout the workshop.
Workshop will be held at the Holt-Sunny Ridge Office:
270 Remington Blvd, Suite D, Bolingbrook, IL 60440
