This list offers a place for aparents to discuss the issues affecting parenting INA (INternationally Adopted) children that are brought up at International-Adopt-Talk (IAT.)
It is a safe place for aparents to vent about the hard issues of INA (INternational Adoptions) or ask for help/advice from other aparents. Our hope is that it will offer aparents a place to process some of the hard things (and good things!) in order to be able to help their children when or if they begin to face some of the same issues. Experienced aparents are here to mentor, share and help.
You do not need to be a member of IAT to be a member here. It is open to aparents who have adopted from any international country or PAPs (potential aparents) who are paper ready or in the paper chase depending on the procedures of the sending country.
Occasionally we will talk about our faith journeys as it affects our parenting. Pls no proselytizing or criticism or faith statements, per se, as that might discount or deny another's walk. Use the delete button if it doesn't interest you. Let the moderators know if anything is offensive.
