so i help the child make sense of their life. so interviewing the child. often times i'll introduce myself to the child as i'm here to write a book about their life, because they have a lot to tell! so we may not even introduce the
How To Adopt A Baby Easily, subject about adoption until the ministry's ready, they found a family, so the whole time i'm just there, we're just writing a story about their life and i'm just spending time with them, getting to know them
and then once the ministry has found a family then usually the social worker and i will go in and then we'll talk to the child about, hey you know what, we found somebody that would like to have you as their own and you could have this forever family. but i've done a lot of work with the kid before that. so talking to them about, what would it mean to have a family one day, like wow, you've been in foster care
for a long time and what if, what if somebody would want you? how would that feel? and for a lot of kids that's pretty terrifying because going somewhere, the thought of going somewhere is worse than maybe staying in a place that isn't so great right now. and then thinking back to where they were,
what if this new place is like that old place was.
