Celebrating the Importance of Birth Culture

Spring and fall are culture camp seasons at Wide Horizons. We now offer four camps; Eastern European, Latin American, China, and Korean. Culture camps are one of several ways to help your foreign-born child gain a sense of connection to the country he/she was born into. As an American, your child will become "as American as apple pie," but will also forever carry an identity associated with being born in Korea, China, Russia, etc. Think about how many times in your life you have been asked in person or writing, "where were you born?"

Read our clinical articles for more ideas on keeping the connection with your child's birth culture.

Welcome to Post Adoption Services at Wide Horizons. Often adopted persons, birth relatives and adoptive families return to us to explore their questions about adoption. Whether you have a simple question about how to talk with your child about adoption, or are seeking support in beginning a search process, we are here to guide you. Many of our families have learned about travel opportunities from us or used our intermediary services to communicate with birth families here and abroad. Others have sought counseling, consultation, educational workshops or support groups. Wide Horizons For Children recognizes adoption as a lifelong process. We are committed to assisting all members of the adoption triad throughout their lives to promote and strengthen family bonds, personal identity, and connection to birth heritage.

We invite you to do the following as you explore our post adoption services:
