Special Needs Workshop - Saturday, May 1st at 9:00
For parents who are interested in adopting a child older than 2 or 3 years or if you're thinking about adopting a child from the Waiting Child Program (aka Special Needs Program).
Our objective is to bring prospective parents information on pursuing an adoption of a child who falls into this category and hopefully striking up some questions for discussion. Learn about the challenges and rewards of parenting, the concrete information about health insurance, how to approach the language barrier, etc.& nbsp; This workshop will be led by Meg, the Social Work Manager and there will be an open forum discussion with post-adoptive parents, who have adopted children who were older at the time of placement and/or a child with identified medical needs.

The topic for this group meeting will focus on special issues and concerns encountered by parents of children of international adoption. We will be exploring the issue of transitions within adoption. Specific parenting information will be shared with time for questions and discussion. This meeting presents a unique opportunity for parents to share information and solutions that have been helpful in their own families. Future meetings will be scheduled according to the group needs.
