What is W.I.S.E. UP? 

Most adopted children are frequently asked questions about being adopted; yet
few are equipped to respond assertively.

WISE UP provides a simple but powerful way for adopted children (and families) to handle comments and personal questions about their adoption journey.

Sunny Ridge is pleased to offer the WISE UP! Workshop, a unique and interactive workshop developed by the Center for Adoption Support and Education (C.A.S.E.).

Who should attend this workshop?

This workshop offers practical tools for adoptive parents and adopted children between 1st and 3rd grade (adopted both internationally and domestically) to guide them in making choices on how to respond to uncomfortable or personal questions about their adoption. Space is limited to 10 children and 20 adults, so we recommend early registration. Watch for future workshops for older children.

How to register:

Registration begins Wednesday, January 27, 2010 at 10:00am, and continues until the Workshop is full. Call Liz Korose at (630) 754-4528 to register.

Payment for the workshop is accepted by major credit card at the time of your phone registration, or by mail to Sunny Ridge within five business days of your registration.
