Adoption Class?

So I was looking at some community classes offered in Davis County, and I got to thinking... Wouldn't it be helpful to teach a class on something relevant to International Adoption?

So many parents are unprepared, especially for the kids adopted from orphanages.  They have wonderful ideas of bringing home a bundle of joy, saving a child from deplorable conditions, adding to their families, teaching and raising up a child, and they have many expectations and hopes and dreams.

All of those things are good, but often a child's environment before being adopted is such that it creates attachment disorders, developmental trauma, and nutritional deficiencies which affect the brain.  Children at times have fetal alcohol disorder.  They may struggle to show affection, or may be so chaotic that they can literally turn a household upside down by recreating the chaos.

Unfortunately I have seen situations in which parents have become so detached and emotionally dysregulated that they have wanted to escape and ultimately come to the point they are willing to give the child up to the State.

I believe that through gaining knowledge and preparation, parents can avoid situations in which they are faced with a lifetime of feeling trapped or the guilt of giving their child up.  It is tragic for the parents and the child; a no-win situation.

Please vote on the above poll and let me know if you or someone you know would be interested in taking a class offered on International Adoption issues.
