Assistance Information Support Meet Susan on her Forum for Parenting Older Children Email this to a friend Older Child Adoption Lingo Older Child Adoption Lingo by Susan M. Ward I've always been intrigued by lingo, insider vocabulary. For example, in the restaurant world, they have words like "in the weeds" meaning a waitperson or the kitchen that is overwhelmed and not on top of things. Or "diver" meaning the dishwasher. Every field has it's own lingo, including the older child adoption world. Here are a few: · older child = any child over the age of two at adoption (some say over the age of one) · bonding/attachment = the reciprocal connection between parent and child where the child feels safe: this attachment requires knowledge and effort on behalf of parents · forever parents = adoptive parents · birth parents = the parents who conceived and bore the child, but for various reasons were unable to raise the child · timeline = generally refers to the time it takes someone to complete their adoption process from application to getting their child home · finalization = the process of officially completing the adoption: varies between domestic and international adoption · gotcha day = the anniversary of a child's adoption: it can be the day you meet, the court date, or the day when the child first gets home

Assistance Information Support Meet Susan on her Forum for Parenting Older Children Email this to a friend Dear Adoption Agencies Dear Adoption Agencies, Thank you for helping us to find our children! We're so happy they're in our lives. As responsible consumers, a group of us decided to share our thoughts with youour agenciesas to how you might better serve your clients. We hope our suggestions will assist future families adopting older children. Pre-adoption... ~ Please don't, DON'T tell us "all these kids need is love and a good home." That negates the complexities of parenting and adoption. It also created a false sense of reality for some of us. ~ Please teach us how to create a strong bond and attachment between us and our children. Let us know about the importance of massage, swimming, hugs, rocking, and more. Emphasize how attachment takes hard work on behalf of the parents and is not automatic. ~ Please prepare us for attachment issues and don't shy away from talking about RAD (reactive attachment disorder). Several of us had you tell us you've "never placed a child with attachment issues or RAD." We find that hard to believe considering that older adopted children all have backgrounds that are conducive to attachment issues. We could use a list of attachment "red flags." Create a resource list for us of attachment books. Have the parent of a RAD child come talk to us in a workshop and help us to understand both the challenges and the potential for healing when parenting a child diagnosed with RAD.

Contents Infant Day Care Today What Do We Know About Quality? Effects Of Infant Care Infant Care: The Issue Of Attachment ... For More Information Forums Childcare and Kids Related Articles Infant Child Care Tracking Down Quality Child Care Can Be Time Consuming and Expensive Helpful Information for You and Your Baby Sitter There is a critical need to increase the availability of quality infant care. If parents, caregivers and policymakers are to understand standards of quality, they must first understand the development of attachment, the effects of early separations, parent characteristics and family circumstances that may contribute to insecurity, and the potential benefits of secure attachment to a caregiver. This digest discusses infant care quality and the debate on infant attachment. Infant Day Care Today In March 1970, 24% of mothers with children under 2 years old were in the labor force. By March 1984, the figure was 46.8% (U.S. Dept. of Labor, 1984). Who takes care of the babies while the mothers work? Some infants (25%) are cared for in their own homes. Others (75%) are cared for outside the home by a baby-sitter, or in family day care (group care by an individual in her home). Only 6% of infants under a year old and 12% of those under 2 are cared for in licensed center-based care (U.S. Dept. of Commerce, June 1982). Although state licensing standards apply to center-based and family day care, most family day care programs remain unlicensed. The crisis in day care is such that the choice of care is often determined by cost and availability, rather than quality.

March 2001 Issues in Preparing and Licensing Special Educators By In consultation with the Professional Standards and Practice Committee Also available as a Microsoft Word Document (237k)- click here Issues How can the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC) positively influence the numerous approaches used by states and provinces for licensing special educators? How can CEC positively influence the proliferation of preparation programs that provide alternative paths to special education licenses? How can CEC positively influence the proliferation of preparation programs that attempt to prepare students simultaneously for licensure in two or more areas? Background What do we know about the historical, current, and evolving dynamics of our field related to these issues? The CEC Board of Directors has requested the Professional Standards and Practice Committee (PSPC) to provide information regarding several issues involving the preparation and licensure of special educators. Licensure of teachers, including special educators, is the responsibility of states and provinces. One of the areas in which CEC has historically provided leadership and guidance is in standards for beginning special educators. Specifically, the standards inform jurisdictions regarding the profession’s determination of minimal knowledge and skills that are needed by well-qualified beginning special educators. CEC uses the standards in the process of reviewing and evaluating preparation programs that prepare prospective special educators. Moreover, CEC actively offers technical assistance to states and provinces in developing and revising their licensing requirements.
