An AFAA seminar for all inter-country adopters, with special focus on parents and their adopted teenagers and the issues around 'Returning to the Birth Country'.

The AFAA Annual General Meeting will also be held during the day, and there will be the opportunity to relax and chat later over an evening meal in a local restaurant.

Saturday 21 October 2003

9.30am - 4.30pm
Queenswood School
Shepherds Way,
Brookmans Park,
Hatfield,
Herts AL9 6NS

A crèche will be available for children from age 3. The school cannot accommodate children under this age and parents are therefore requested not to bring them.

Everyone should bring a packed lunch.
Tea & coffee will be available.

The seminar offers parallel activities:

For parents	three speakers, each with their own special experience of returning to the birth country: Clive Winstanley planning and taking a very special exotic holiday Angela Genders tracing and reunion Crystal Dickinson using the return trip to build long term relationships
For teenagers	an ice-breaking, fun morning with tenpin bowling and a 'Teens Talking' afternoon facilitated by Carl Callam (from a trans-racial family) to focus on the issues of those in the group.
