Families built through foster care, kinship care, and adoption represent bittersweet forms of family building as they incorporate the joys and pain of both loss and gain. All members of the adoption/permanency constellation — which include adopted persons, birth/first parents, permanent parents, and extended family — experience lifelong intergenerational losses and complexities. In this course, we will discuss how and when individuals are affected by both the positive and challenging issues of adoption and permanency. A parent’s understanding of the Seven Core Issues enables them to better address the complex challenges and feelings their child may experience throughout various stages of development.

Curriculum includes the Seven Core Issues:

  • Loss
  • Rejection
  • Shame and Guilt
  • Grief
  • Identity
  • Intimacy
  • Mastery and Control
