About Parenting After Adoption

Parenting after Adoption explores the unique, and often complex, experiences of parents raising children affected by adoption. Rebecca will share her experiences and insights as an adoptive mother raising children who were adopted and children who were born to her. She will discuss a wide variety of topics that include, but are not limited to: trauma, loss and grief; relationships with first families; inter-country, domestic, trans-racial and trans-cultural adoption; adopting siblings and siblings separated by adoption; language, development, school and much more.
