Adoption Education: Training the People Who Influence Your Children

• What are our children being taught about adoption in school and in our community?
• How can we share adoption with family and friends that might be new to adoption?
• What can we do to help our children grow up with a secure sense of themselves?

Kathryn Creedy, Executive Director of the Institute for Adoption Information, is this week’s guest, and she will share the answers to these questions and tools to help you educate some of the most important people in your child’s life. If you are a concerned parent, adoption professional or someone who cares about children and adoption awareness, you must hear this show.

Mardie and Kathryn will prepare you for some of the sensitive educational challenges you and you child will face. For example:

• Have you ever wondered how you will handle the first day your child needs to bring a baby picture to school, and the only picture you have is in an orphanage at age three?

• How will you react when your child comes to you needing to draw a family tree for school but is confused about whom to put in it?

The keys to creating a supportive atmosphere for adoptive families are knowledge and understanding. And some of the most important people who need training are family, friends and surprisingly, educators.

Kathryn Creedy, Executive Director of the Institute for Adoption Information, and Mardie Caldwell, C.O.A.P., will share with you ways that, by teaching others about adoption, you can help your children develop confidence and appreciation of their connection to adoption.
