Help after you are home and for your school

Some parents research all sorts of things, others just let it happen. Everyone has their own personality in how to prepare and plan for life. No matter which you fall into, or somewhere in between, things can be difficult once you are home with your child. Some kids adapt quickly, others don't, some need help, some families need help. Some need a little help to get over a hurdle and some need a lot. There is NO shame in needing a little or a lot of help to adjust. The Adoption Exchange as a great resource for post-adoption help. There are all sorts of things here. Articles, Education, Respite Care, Support Groups, etc..... check it out with the link above.

Educators need help understanding the unique needs of adoptive families and kids who have been adopted. There are great resources for schools too!  This is a list of education opportunities for professionals and parents, as far as I can understand, these classes are put on in conjunction with Colorado Department of Human Services. This makes them very useful and legit for public school teachers who need state approved classes. The Adoption Exchange is really focused on helping families and educators to meet the needs of kids who have been adopted.
