PRIDE Trainers Upcoming PRIDE Sessions/To Register PRIDE training has been required for all CAS adoptions since April 2007. For private domestic and international adoption, PRIDE is required for all adoptive applicants who started their home study after December 31, 2007. A fundamental purpose for a standardized preparation program is to ensure that adoptive applicants are educated about all their adoption options. Whether considering adoption through Children’s Aid Societies, private domestic adoption, or international adoption, adoptive applicants are welcome to attend any PRIDE training program. The PRIDE curriculum provides information to help prepare all adoptive parents for the responsibilities involved in raising their children and incorporates information about the following: • Adoption and child welfare systems, processes and laws • Attachment as a central issue in all adoptions • Loss issues in adoption • Impact of adoption on your own family • Child development, child management and an overview of issues specific to the needs of adopted children • The effects of neglect, lack of stimulation, abuse, institutionalization on children • Identity formation and the importance of cultural and racial awareness • The importance of connections and continuity for children.
