classroom presentation on adoption
Medina was recently told by a boy in her class that I'm not her real mom. We had a great talk about real moms and how kids can have two real moms just like moms can have 2 real kids and how a lot of kids don't know about adoption and don't understand this. Medina has a lot of memories of her family in Ethiopia since she was in the orphanage for a short time before she came to me at age 7. Her family is part of our daily conversation, which really took the anxiety of our conversation about the "real mom" stuff.
Anyway, I asked her if she'd like for me to talk to her class about what adoption means and she said that she would. She is currently in kindergarten. I'm going to talk to her teacher about doing a presentation. Has anyone done this kind of presentation? Can you give me any suggestions?
TIA
