Post Adoption Parenting Worshops:
The mission of the International Adoption Center's Post Adoption Parenting worshops is to address some of the issue that many of our families have been asking about AFTER they get home. We have tried to develop these workshps to tackle some of your biggest concerns. We have gathered a group of local experts who will discuss each topic with real life examples and up to date information. Each workshop format will be different depending on the topic and the speaker but will all include ample time for class participation and discussion.
