New Jersey Adoption Resource Clearing House

Cost: $20.00

Individuals will develop skills to advocate for children, address bias and racism within family and community systems, repair harm when necessary, and commit to continued learning over time.

Interracial adoption places children in a social and psychological “space in between” where connection or disconnection is shaped by the quality of preparation, support, and community surrounding them. Parents play a critical role in either lessening or reinforcing that experience through their willingness to learn, advocate, and continue to connect with their children as they navigate the lifelong journey of adoption.

This training series is designed to support adoptive parents and caregivers in building the knowledge and skills needed to care for children across racial and cultural differences. It focuses not just on good intentions, but on developing culturally responsive, thoughtful, and accountable caregiving practices.
