Free Resources for Everyone

Learn what everyone needs to know.

If you know, love, teach, and serve adoptees and foster youth, here’s what you need to know. Be trauma informed which means learning the basics about how trauma can change people and understanding them in this context. Be adoptee centered and that means the adoptee point of view informs adoption and foster practice and parenting. Everyone is best equipped to know and support adoptees and foster youth by listening to the experts — those who’ve had life experiences in these systems. Be culturally humble which means recognizing you don’t know what you don’t know, and are willing to do the work to educate yourself in order to meet the unique needs and honor the full identity of others, while ensuring resources and tools are contextualized and translated.  Download our FREE guides below from The Adoptee Collective
