Lifebooks for Adopted Children

This class discusses the importance of creating a lifebook for your adopted child and provides ideas about how to start. We'll cover issues such as handling sensitive information; generating a child-centered narrative; and incorporating the lifebook into your family traditions. Specific scrapbooking materials will not be provided, but a list of local and on-line resources will be available.
