Synopsis
A companion to What White Parents Should Know about Transracial Adoption, this practical workbook guides readers to better understand transracial adoption and do the work of anti-racist, trauma-informed parenting. <p/>A must-read for white parents who have transracially adopted or prospective parents considering transracial adoption, this follow-up to What White Parents Should Know about Transracial Adoption offers a wealth of activities, templates, and questions for self-reflection.

Through thought-provoking questions and activities, Guida-Richards guides you to:

- Look more deeply at implicit bias, white saviorism, and white fragility
- Locate and utilize adoption-competent mental health care
- Offer culturally aligned education, community, and resources to your child
- Acknowledge the effects of racism and celebrate your child's race and culture
Throughout the workbook, Guida-Richards guides you to break free from toxic positivity, understand and drop defenses, engage in difficult conversations, and learn to listen to your child's experience. Whether you are a potential parent considering a transracial adoption, a parent of an adopted child, or a therapist or advocate working with adoptive families, this practical and engaging workbook will help you "do the work" of furthering anti-racist, child-centered, and trauma-informed parenting.
