Seasoned Parents
Conscious Adoption:
“I recently completed the Seasoned Parents course. I was looking for a lifeline to better understand our adult adoptees. I recommend this course to any adoptive parent with an adult adoptee. The course focuses on education and communication. You will find yourself in an environment with trained professionals and a community of parents eager to share their experiences. I just wish this organization and course had been available when we first adopted” - Lynn

Each Conscious Adoption Adoptive Parent Courses is offered only once a year!
When your kids are adults there is often the false notion that the need to talk about adoption is over. When people adopt they are oftentimes told that love would be enough. Your kids are now adults with their own thoughts and feelings about adoption; unfortunately, love alone is not enough for you to engage in tough conversations about adoption with your adult adoptees.
Join us for a virtual eight-week program to talk together and:
Reflect on why you chose adoption, and what you have learned over decades of raising children
Dig into the challenges of talking about adoption as an industry, gratitude, anger, adoption fog, search, reunion and race
Practice talking about these adoption issues with your adult children and with others, in ways that are clear, respectful, and helpful.
This is an 8 week course that covers all of the above and more in eight 90-minute sessions.
This curriculum has been developed by both an adoptee, Astrid Castro, Director and Founder of Adoption Mosaic, and an adoptive parent, Maureen McCauley. Our aim is to serve adoptees (including those who are adults) and parents in the spirit of openness and understanding.
