Training for Adopted Adults
| Theme |
| Are you thinking about a reunion with your birth mother, birth father,
birth siblings or birth relatives? Reunion is a big step and has consequences for all
parties to adoption: some good, some not so good. PAC finds that adopted adults
who give themselves the opportunity to consider the outcomes before the reunion
tend to be better able to deal with what emerges. |
| |
| Aims |
| To assist participants: to explore reunion from a variety of angles (the fantasy, the reality, the disappointment,
the "honeymoon" period, Genetic Sexual Attraction and so on); to prepare for reunion by thinking through questions
such as 'is 18 too young?', 'what support do I need?', 'what if . . .?'; to think through how you and others (spouses,
lovers, adoptive parents) might be affected by your reunion. |
| |
| Who should attend |
| Adopted adults who have not, as yet, had a reunion but who are planning to. |

To help you work on strategies that may help your reunion. |
| |

| Theme |
| You've done it: you've met birth Mum and/or birth Dad, brother, sister,
relative. What a disappointment it's turned out to be! Things have not gone according
to plan and you are left to deal with the consequences. In the safety of a small group
who share your predicament, this workshop will help you explore some of the issues
around a second (or third, or fourth...) rejection. |
| |
| Aims |
| To assist participants to share their story with others; to provide a safe space to consider why/how things fell
apart. |
| |
| Who should attend |
| Adopted adults who have had at least one reunion which has not resulted in a good
relationship and where there is no longer contact. |

| Theme |
| This is a five-week programme for adults who identify as African, Caribbean, Black, Asian, multi or bi-racial
in origin who have been transracially adopted or long term fostered. |
| |
| Aims |
- Do you feel isolated in your experience of having been brought up in a transracial environment?
- Do you sometimes feel confused about who you are because of your differences?
- Do you sometimes feel a sense of not belonging to a culture/community?
- Have you reconnected with your birth family but are finding it difficult to manage the relationship?
This group is designed to allow a safe space for people like yourself to explore these, and other, dilemmas and help
you to discover some strategies to manage them as you go through life.
It is important to attend all five sessions. Participants who have not previously seen a PAC counsellor are required to
attend a 50-minute consultation with a course facilitator before they can join the group—please call
PAC on 020 7284 055 to arrange.
