The web site adoptionclubhouse.org is designed especially for adopted children. It's a practical and fun web site that can help you talk to your child (children) about what it means to be adopted. One page in particular, called "Afraid to Ask", discusses some of the questions all adopted kids have but may be afraid to ask or talk about.

Questions include "Who do I look like?" and "Why did my birth parents give me away?" This section can be a great conversation starter, and can help your adopted child know that it's ok to ask questions.

If you have a teenager who was adopted and is experiencing emotional or behavioral problems, a specialty boarding school for adopted teens may help. Visit Mount Bachelor Academy to learn more about their Adoption Curriculum.
