Living as a Trans-racial Family Formed by Adoption Workshop

This workshop is designed for all families who have or are planning to adopt a child of another race. Some adoption agencies will accept this workshop as credit toward the home study requirements. Certificates will be issued upon request.

In choosing to become a trans-racial family through adoption, we accept the responsibility of opening our hearts and our lives to new ways of being.

Join us as we talk about:

• What it means to be a “conspicuous family” – to parents and to children
• How to talk about race and ethnicity with your children
• Ways to incorporate a wide array of multiculturalism into your family
• Strategies for helping to educate others in your life about what it means to be a trans-racial family.
• Challenges of growing up as part of a trans-racial adoptive family and how parents can help

Speaker/Moderator: Stefani Moon M.A., is a Licensed Professional Counselor and the Program Manager for Open Arms Adoption Network’s North Jersey and New York offices. She facilitates Families Like Ours (FLO) a monthly support and resource group for Caucasian families parenting African American children.   . Adoption is both a professional and a personal passion for Stefani, as her two daughters joined her family through adoption.

This workshop includes the speaker, A Panel of adults who were adopted into transracial families and time for discussion.

Some adoption agencies will accept this workshop as credit toward the home study requirements. Certificates will be issued upon request.
