CREATING A FAMILY

Foster, kinship and adoptive parents need information because our children often struggle with emotional and educational challenges that can make parenting hard. It is important that this information be expert-based and trauma-informed rather than the anecdotal sharing that often takes place. The MISSION of Creating a Family is to do just that - to strengthen and inspire adoptive, foster and kinship parents and the professionals who support them by creating engaging, expert-based and trauma-informed resources and training. We create resources for families raising kids who have experienced the trauma of neglect, abuse and prenatal exposure. Our resources embrace all the current media in order to fit the learning style and time availability of busy parents. In addition to education, we know first-hand the power of support and being surrounded by others who understand your experience. As such, we run a large online support group for adoptive, foster and kinship families.
