Post-Adoption Education

Seminars

4 consecutive Saturdays: September 13, 20, 27, October 4, 2025.

Nearly all adopted children are asked questions about adoption by friends, relatives, neighbors, classmates, and strangers. Children, especially those ages 7-11 need to be prepared to handle these challenging moments. Adoptions of Indiana can help them learn how to respond to these questions through fun adoption related activities designed especially for this age group. One parent session included.  Group meets in person at Adoptions of Indiana.

Cost: $150.00

Monday, September 15, 2025 6-7:30p, via Zoom

$35/couple. $25/single. 

As children enter early elementary school, they enter the next phase of development in their understanding of adoption.  This group will discuss the child development that occurs during this time period and how it affects a child’s understanding of adoption.  We will also discuss how this creates the need for more specific and detailed adoption story discussions.  The goal is to provide the parent with a better understanding of how to talk about adoption, as well as what to say to their child even with difficult topics.

Allison Montgomery, LCSW

As part of normal and healthy development, all teens grapple with their identity. Adopted teens face additional challenges in reconciling who they are with the uncertainties in their history. This group is for teens and offers guidance as we empower and equip them to handle the issues and questions that arise from their personal adoption story while they learn who they are as individuals.
