Hi Everyone! I'm starting to work on a resource for clinicians who are working with adoptees who don't specialize in adoption. Assuming the course/workshop was incredibly valuable, what price point would you consider - $47, $97, or higher? Also, if you had any thoughts about length of course, or if there were specific topics that you'd be interested in learning, I'd love to hear about that! If you could also let me know whether you specialize in adoption work, that would be great! Thanks so much! I'm incredibly excited about this project and want to figure out how best to serve the therapist community!

Excited to announce my mini-course, "Navigating Tough Conversations With Ease: Talking About Adoption. It's for new and seasoned adoptive parents. It answers these questions, and much more!
What questions do adoptees have about being adopted, that they probably haven’t brought up?
What is the difference between how teens and young adults, and younger adoptees raise adoption issues?
If your child of any age talks about how hard it is to be adopted, how should you respond, and why?
It's time-efficient, and affordable, at $27 (regularly $47) for a limited time!

So, along with my main course for adoptive parents, I've started to work on a mini-course. I was thinking about focusing on how to talk about birth parents. Would love your input on what you think about this idea, if you had specific questions about it and if there were other topics of interest! Thank you!
