What people are saying?
I wish more adoptive parents and their extended families were attending the incredible on line workshops being put on by The Adoption Companion. We listened to Melissa Guida-Richards today.. Trans-racial adoptee and author of “What white parents should know about Trans-racial adoption” . It was so eye opening for me and I have been in the adoption space for 12 years.
Justin Foxton, Adoptive Parent and Educator
Wonderful, well-organized and informative!
Anonymous Adoptive Parent
As an adoptive parent, it has been so helpful to get a knowledgeable and approachable perspective from an adult adoptee.
