Nurturing a child’s identity is a key part of welcoming a child to your family, and will continue to be important throughout their life. An integral piece of any child’s identity is their racial and cultural heritage. Strong identity formation can help a child build healthy self-worth and equip them for life.

Forever Bond (Registration is Closed)
Date: December 14th, 2020
Time: 7:00PM – 9:00PM
Please join us for "Forever Bond", a webinar which will introduce you to sibling groups in need of an adoptive family. Placing siblings together not only protects children against the trauma of further separation and loss, but also enhances their sense of safety, well-being and identity.
Within each sibling group, each child has different needs and interests that require a family to love, accept their connections to one another and recognize the individual support they will need to grow and flourish. Join us to learn about wonderful siblings who need adoptive families to cherish, support and care for them as they grow and develop.
