Workshop Description:
Join us as we explore the journey of adoption and the unique and beautiful role you’re about to take on as parents. Whether you’re just starting to explore the adoption process, or you’re already matched with a child, this session will give you the tools, support, and insights to make this experience positive, empowering, and fulfilling – for you and for the child you’re welcoming into your family. The Road to Forever: Navigating the first days, weeks, and months after being matched
As 2SLGBTQIA+ parents, you bring a unique perspective to adoption, one filled with love, resilience, and authenticity. You are part of a larger, vibrant community of families who understand the importance of inclusion, openness, and connection.
By being open with your child and family, setting boundaries as needed, and building a strong support network, you are creating a home that will nurture and embrace your child for who they are.
This 5-week series aims to give you the tools and support you need to manage the early days, weeks, and months after being matched with your child and welcoming them into your home.”
