Adopted children have unique needs based on the fact of being adopted. Although we do not want to view our children using only “adoption colored glasses,” we do need to be sensitive to their unique situation. This workshop will provide information on the basic needs of adopted children, including potential triggers to adoption issues.  Other topics addressed include: understanding potential effects of abuse and neglect, cultural heritage, community resources, school needs, and advocating for your child.
