True Colors is a workshop for transracial and interracial families that focuses on the issues inherent to parenting children across racial lines. We will present concrete suggestions for connecting your child to his or her racial heritage and information about how positive racial identity develops. Guest Speakers are a panel of adult adoptees sharing their lived experiences. We will focus on white privilege and how white parents bring blinders to some of the racial realities that their children will deal with as a fact of life as a person of color. Real life scenarios will be also explored in an interactive approach to problem solving and understanding the obvious and sometimes not so obvious divides and boundaries that multiracial families must negotiate. This workshop is required for Pact clients currently waiting to adopt across racial lines as well as parents who are experiencing new challenges as they and their children enter new ages and stages of the journey.
