Building Connections Across Cultures (BCAC)A Family Consultation for Transracial and Transnational Adopters
Fulfills Hague education requirements for international adopters Pact offers a variety of consultation services for families who are considering transracial or transnational adoption and as well as those who are already parenting children of a different race. If you are parenting across racial lines - or planning to do so - and have been wondering exactly how to bring more diversity into your family's circle and support your child’s cultural and racial self-esteem, this program is designed to help. Building Community Across Cultures (BCAC) will give you the opportunity to work with Pact staff in completing a detailed assessment of your current lifestyle and connections as you become (or continue your growth as) a family of color built through adoption. The BCAC program is divided into self-directed components involving personalized assessment work completed by the participant(s) and at least three meetings (or telephone consultations) with Pact staff. BCAC also includes access to Pact staff for check-in and progress reports to help you as you create your individualized plan to help you help your child become a strong, proud and culturally competent adult of color. |
