As an adoption social worker and the mother of an adopted child, I really enjoyed your courses. In particular, I appreciated the emphasis placed on bonding and attachment. I feel all too often, parents worry about potential physical problems and fail to prepare themselves for attachment difficulties which may arise. The more prepared families are ahead of time, the better they will able to handle any difficulties in bonding. The importance placed on seeking the help of specialists in the area of adoption when dealing with the needs of an adopted child is priceless. I commend you and your staff on the creation of a very informative collection of course studies. I would recommend your course to adopting families and other adoption professionals." JL - Alabama |
