EMPOWERED TO CONNECT

So in some of my adoption internet travels, I stumbled upon this great website called Empowered to Connect. They have free online videos you can watch called, "What Every Adoptive Parent Should Know." The videos address fear, giving a voice to children, parenting strategies - just to name a few. We haven't watched all of them but the few we took a peek at seemed really informative!

Empowered to Connect also has a DVD you can purchase. The DVD consists of eight short video sessions covering some of the basics that every adoptive and foster parent needs to know.
