Lifebooks Course Available Online
Adoption Learning Partners at www.adoptionlearningpartners.org
has added a new course called Lifebooks: Creating and Telling Your
Child’s Story.
Developed in conjunction with professionals from the Illinois Department
of Children and Family Services and other adoption experts, Lifebooks
will help adoptive parents understand the importance and purpose
of a Lifebook as a lifelong project, identify and understand its
components, learn when and how to use it, and provide the opportunity
to create pages that can be the start of a Lifebook.
When you take the course, you’ll select a specific path that
best describes your child’s adoption: child welfare or fostering,
international or domestic adoption. Sample layouts and texts with
colorful graphics, context-specific questions and answers, and powerful
adoption stories provide additional guidance. Many of the resources
are available as printable files and, as with our other courses,
you can always return to review the course online and to continue
work on your Lifebook.
Lifebooks carries 1.5 hours of training credit and is available
free of charge on the Adoption Learning Partners website. Certificates
of completion are available for a $30 fee.
