True Colors: Putting together the pieces of the Transracial Adoption Puzzle

A day-long workshop for transracial, international and interracial families that focuses on the issues inherent to parenting children across racial lines. You will hear from adults who were raised in transracial adoptive families about their experiences. We will present concrete suggestions for connecting your child to his or her racial heritage and information about how positive racial identity develops. We will focus on white privilege and how white parents sometimes bring blinders to some of the racial realities that their children will deal with as a fact of life as a person of color. Real life scenarios will be explored in an interactive approach to problem solving and understanding the obvious and sometimes not so obvious divides and boundaries that multiracial families must negotiate? What if you don't know their story, how can you fill in the gaps? Participants will have an opportunity to ask specific questions and share stories. Includes catered lunch (vegetarian option available).
