I am very interested in hearing about the workshops that she does with kids. I wonder if she does family oriented ones as well? We attended our agency's manditory training about this topic & felt it was a bit condescending when they suggested "going to Panda Express or Taco Bell does not constitute a culturally diverse experience". Well, duh. I like hearing the "why" behind the message that Jane Brown delivers and the practical suggestions. Great posts, you. Thanks. (I'm a bit late here, but I wanted to return when I could hunker down and read through each post). PS - I love Todd Parr's "The Family Book" - a colorful, fun book that celebrates diversity in families. Check it out! This is so great, SBird.

I think she is right on the mark and I'm just not sure why she is so controversial. Perhaps because she really challenges adoptive parents to think about more than dressing your kid up at CNY. She is coming back to Indy in 2007, and I will be in the front row. Thanks for writing about this, it is always a good reminder. I saw her two years ago and she really made me think.
