Event Details

Our ground breaking series of workshops for transracially adoptive families, facilitated by experts in the field, will cover topics like racial/ethnic identity, how to answer questions from outsiders and from your children, exploring white privilege, parenting tips, and much more!

Caregivers are encouraged to partake in all three workshops to best benefit from the series. $25 for the series or $10 per workshop. No one turned away for a lack of funds. 

The first workshop in the series will be facilitated by Martha Rynberg (LGBT Family Support of Pact, An Adoption Alliance) and will include stories from transracially adoptive parents. How do they respond to other families' questions in the grocery store? What was their adoption process like? How do I negotiate birth-family relationships? Join us for the kick-off to this exciting series!
