The Ties Program-Adoptive Family Homeland Journeys

Article Series Available:  Identity Building, Do Kids Need to Know the Past?

Perhaps the most significant and exciting thing about homeland travel is what kids are doing with the experience related to identity building. It is really interesting to see kids country after country doing the same kinds of things as they work toward understanding of self.  This series will address:

How kids respond upon arrival in their birth country
How language (or lack of language) effects the experience
Blending in & Standing Out—Dual Identity
How birth country travel validates the child
Homeland travel answers “Why?” –the impact
How birth country travel addresses grief and loss that leads to healing
What it looks and feels like when the kids begin to know first hand that the people with whom they share their heritage are warm, wonderful, genuine people.
Reverse culture shock—reactions on your return.
