Join us for the last in a yearlong series of monthly historical and topical webinars commemorating the Children's Bureau's Centennial year! These webinars will provide historical information and explore current and/or controversial issues and trends in child welfare. These webinars are designed to engage child welfare stakeholders, offer a forum for dialogue, and energize and invigorate thinking for the century ahead.

"Taking the 'Special' Out of Special Needs Adoption: Developing a Framework for the Future" will examine the history of the term "special needs" in foster care and adoption and its current use. Speakers will offer thoughts for a future framework for discussions about children who currently fall into the "special needs" designation in a child welfare context. An adoptive family will share their experience learning about this terminology and how it shaped their conversations as they moved toward becoming a family.

Our webinar speakers are:

Penny Maza, Expert Consultant, Child Welfare and Adoption
Kathy Ledesma, National Project Director, AdoptUSKids
