Review for Foster & Adoptive Care Coalition, St. Louis, MO, USA
As my husband and I tried to prepare ourselves for adoption, the Coalition provided educational forums with speakers that were invaluable to us. We learned, among other things, how adopted adults felt about being adopted as children and their positive or negative feeelings attached to adoption. We also were able to discuss questions and concerns with other adoptive parents. We learned so much to help us with raising our daughter in the best way possible. Knowledge is a powerful tool to have and the Coaltion provided us with first hand knowledge. In addition, if needed, babysitting was provided making it possible for some people to attend. Everything was done professionally. We were able to hear from psychoogists too. It's a GREAT organiziation.
