Siobhan Rhodes Adoption: To have hope, to be present and build trust
About the speaker: Siobhan Rhodes is an analyst for a UK based children’s charity. She is an adopted person and parent to both an adopted and a birth child. Siobhan is also the co-founder of a charity along with her twin sister Sian, which supports adopted children to understand their life story.
Why you should listen: Siobhan aims to inspire hope and explore ways to build connection and stay present with your kids to build attachment. What most of us know is that there are so many children in the world in search of a forever home. But how many of us have really considered what is it actually like to be an adopted person and to parent an adopted child?
In her talk, Siobhan explores how we can create an environment where children who have left their family of birth are able to go on to thrive?
