DIVERSITY IN ADOPTIVE FAMILIES
In the Adoptive world we see all kinds of different family make ups. The openness to love a child that needs a home, brings many different kinds of families together. This section will look at both the benefits and challenges these families and their children face. The more we understand the more we can support families. Diversity encompasses many types of families.
On this resource page, we take a look at
Transracial Adoption
LBGTQ2+ Adoption

We know we will not capture every element, but we try to provide great information to help families and to support families.
