Post Adoption Stress and Adjustment

After the ups and downs of preparing for adoption, the reality is always different from our expectations. Post-adoption ambivalence and depression are normal reactions for many adoptive parents. Unfortunately parents often feel guilty and embarrassed by their feelings when everyone else assumes they must be happy and enjoying their new child.

This seminar explores the typical challenges of adjusting to your new role as a parent. Learn how to set realistic expectations of yourself and your child. The instructor will discuss resources for post adoption assistance and support for new parents.
