The holidays can bring joy, connection, and traditions, but they can also bring questions and challenges for adoptive families. That’s why our next webinar conversation is especially timely.
Home for the Holidays will explore the unique complexities that adoption can bring to the holiday season. From conversations around the Thanksgiving table to establishing family and cultural traditions to gifts and visits with birth families. Coupled with managing the emotions that can accompany these experiences. We’ll talk honestly about the questions and situations adoptive families may encounter during the holidays, and how to navigate them with intention, compassion, and with the adoptee at the center. Our panelists will also share their own personal holiday stories and experiences, bringing multiple perspectives from within the adoption constellation to the conversation.
What You'll Learn:
Navigate challenging questions and conversations that may arise around the holiday table.
Approach family, cultural, and holiday traditions with greater intention and sensitivity.
Thoughtfully navigate gifts, visits, and relationships with birth family during the holidays.
Recognize and respond to the emotions that can surface during the holiday season, keeping the adoptee’s experience at the center.
