Description
Introduction to Transracial Adoption will dive into the history, complexities and hope of transracial adoption. Understanding the history of transracial adoption, the unique challenges transracially adopted children and their parents face will help us think deeper about transracial adoption and how to prepare for being a transracial family. Isaac Etter is an adoptee and social entrepreneur who was transracially adopted at the age of two. He founded Identity, a startup focused on helping adoptive and foster families thrive. At Identity, Isaac is working on re-imagining post-placement support for adoptive and foster families. He uses his story and deep passion for adoption and foster care education to bring relevant, quality, and diverse resources to adoptive and foster parents. Families at any stage in the adoption process are welcome to attend. Participation certificates will be available that can be used toward required training hours for foster/pre-adoptive families. Social workers are also welcome to attend any sessions.
