Date: May 29, 2009 Time: 7:00 PM Location: First United Methodist Church 25 Broadway Amityville, NY 11701 (for directions see below) Contact: Kristen Hayes / KristenH@fccli.org / phone number 631-608-8546 Reply By: May 27, 2009 Cost : There is no cost for this event! Please bring your own picnic-style dinner and beverages, including any dessert. Race DOES Matter - maybe not in your home, but it does for your child the minute they go out into the world. We're going to have great discussions utilizing the companion DVD's from the film ADOPTED. It is not necessary to have attended the film screening of ADOPTED - everybody is encouraged to attend! WE made the decision to adopt transracially - and WE owe it to our children to be up to the important challenge of raising children of another race. Let's learn together how to make our homes places were such topics may be discussed safely. Just because your child isn't talking about these things, doesn't mean that your child isn't internalizing these issues. You may be the one that needs to initiate these conversations. Let's get together as adoptive parents - no matter if your child is home yet - or what their age - so that we can guide our children in forming their racial identities! We must do better - We CAN do better! Directions to :
25 Broadway Amityville Village From Southern State Parkway or Sunrise Highway: Take Route 110 South, all the way into the Village of Amityville. (Route 110 becomes Broadway.)
