LifeBooks

LifeBooks are way to capture memories and remember your child’s life through stories, pictures, or other documents. The books are meant to help children and others better appreciate their history. They have also been a great asset for children’s understanding their adoption. Please join us for this fun and informative session.

Answering Questions About Adoption

Got questions? What kinds of questions do our children ask? When are they developmentally ready for what answers? How and when do we talk to them about adoption? Do strangers ask questions in the grocery store? Oh yes, we "got questions?" Let's explore together so we have the best answers for the right situation.
