    Cincinnati: Adoption: Answering the Hard Questions
    #924, #925, #929, #943, #945, #949, #991, #989, #RR5, #RR7, #RR9, #RR10, #RR11
    class description

    This training equips adoptive caregivers with the tools and confidence to navigate the complex and emotionally charged questions that adopted children often ask about their past. Participants will explore age-appropriate communication strategies, trauma-informed responses, and the importance of honesty, transparency, and emotional regulation when discussing sensitive topics such as abandonment, substance abuse, incarceration, and abuse. The session emphasizes the developmental stages of understanding adoption, the impact of early trauma on the brain, and how to support children in building coherent personal narratives. Caregivers will also reflect on their own emotional responses and learn how to remain attuned and supportive throughout these conversations.
