FAMILY BUILDING NETWORK SUPPORT GROUP
Wednesday february 15, 2012
The Monthly Support Group, lead by Patricia Mendell, LCSW, is dedicated to helping families formed through egg/sperm/embryo donation and surrogacy, create healthy and lasting connections.
Everyone has a unique Story about their family. For parents planning to disclose, telling the Family Story can seem overwhelming.
We will discuss:
- The importance of language in the disclosure story
- Latest research on children and families
- Age appropriate books for donor offspring children
- How to answer questions from your child and others
- How to begin "The Talk"
- How childrens' questions change over time
- What to tell siblings
