I was one of those people trying to get out of the class. My thought process was.."Come on, I am a parent already, have come from a family with many adopted children, have a degree in child psy., my husband works with children from all backgrounds...do I really need to do this class??"

Boy was I surprised. I learned so much in that class. It scared the living daylights out of me, but we kept going back. I really feel that everyone should attend the class. I know for us, it would have been a huge mistake for us not to. Not to mention, a disservice to the newly adopted child.
