Three Web Seminars Scheduled for September!




    “Kids can’t go forward without a past!”
                                                    --Jean MacLeod

Studies show that children adopted by parents of different race can have identity issues that need to be addressed. One of them is a shame based identity that stems from their mixed emotions about their ethnicity, race or birth country.

As an Adoption Professional and Ethiopian, Duni Zenaye addresses questions adoptive parents have but are afraid to ask. This seminar educates families about culture and race as well as shows them how to help children build healthy self esteems while instilling a sense of pride about who they are.

Some of the few things addressed at the seminar are:


Identity

Race

Culture

Language  
                                         
Travel

Post Placement

Do’s and Don’ts while in Ethiopia
Overview of the adoption process
What to expect...and not expect
 Doing your part to ensure your adoption goes smoothly
