Adopting with Existing Children

Adopting with Existing Children

Adopting when you have children already in the family poses unique challenges. This course is available for prospective adopters in Stage 1 with CCS Adoption, and in Stage 2 with other agencies.

During this training we will explore:

— The potential impact on ourselves being both birth parents and adopters, and/or adopters the second time around

— The potential impact on existing children and how to anticipate and manage this

— How to parent children with differing backgrounds and needs, and why this may mean combining different parenting styles

— Methods, techniques and approaches

— How to prepare your children and wider family for the new arrival

— Sibling dynamics

— How introductions may work

This training will be facilitated by Jane Thompson (CCS Adoption Training Officer and adoptive parent), an adoptive parent who also has a birth child, and a CCS Social Worker.
