Let me tell you how this site works

This is not the typical chronological blog. Each blog entry is the beginning of a discussion of a problem that parents of adopted children may face. For these issues, I do not have all the answers but I do have questions. I invite you to comment on the blog under the specific topics and hopefully together we can help each other work out the problems we face. Please feel free to vent about your hard times and/or share advice on what may work for others. If you would like to suggest new topics please email me at hinkson@pcu.net. Check back often to see if any new comments can be of help. Also all the comments have to be OK'd before they post and so don't panic if they don't immediately show on the site. They will be posted soon.

Retaining pride in country of origin.

How do we keep the pride that a child has in his native country. This is especially hard when they seem to love their new life and want to be American. This is also hard when the parents may not particularly be a big fan of the country of origin. I know there are answers out there.... somewhere.

    I think it's important to be positive about the child's birth country and, as parents, express a positive viewpoint. Do I love everything about Ukraine? No, but there are lots of things I do love there. We choose to focus on the good things. This seems to be more complicated with a child adopted at an older age and who may have personal negative memories though!
