Adoptive Parent Training: Developing Communication Skills
How does an adoptive parent respond when their child asks, “Will I ever meet my birth mom?” Or more importantly, where would one learn the skills to respond confidently to a question like that? Many adoptive parents read books or attend classes to learn the skills necessary to discuss difficult topics, and now there is a video available to them as well. After two years of research and development, in collaboration with Iris Media Inc., Adoption Mosaic is so excited to offer this innovative evidence-based training DVD.

This DVD demonstrates how adoptive parents can communicate openly and honestly with their family members, friends and especially their children. Parents learn to seize and create opportunities to have healthy discussions about birth parents, international and interracial adoptions, and the many other matters that make their family unique.

With this innovative program, participants receive a 27-minute DVD, as well as a key code to access additional online features such as interactive exercises, printable materials, journal questions and knowledge checks. The DVD including key code is available to purchase for $35.00

Like adoption, a mosaic is a picture created of bits and pieces. The spaces between remind us that each piece has a history of its own.
