Written By Tanya Camp

Learn how to share difficult news with your child.

Should you tell your child that her birth father is in jail or that her birth mother is addicted to drugs, or that she was conceived by rape? If so, how in the world do you share this news. In this course, we talk with Lesli Johnson, an EMDR therapist who specializes in adoption and foster care and an adult adoptee; and Susan Myers, a licensed Master Social Worker with Adoptions from the Heart Adoption Agency.

This course covers the following learning objectives:

  • List 3 reasons why parents should tell their adopted or foster child about the hard parts of their story.

  • Identify at about what age parents should have shared all the information that they know.

  • Explain what a Lifebook is.

  • List 2 reasons why parents should not share with others the personal parts of their child's adoption/foster story.
