This training was held at Vista Del Mar Child & Family Services. 

Educate your child the following and when this happens ASK YOUR CHILD which one they want to do. The order is not important. These are boundaries.  It's their story to tell!

W = walk away
I = tell them "It's private" or an I statement i.e. I don't feel comfortable answering that question, I don't know you. 
S = Share something about your adoption story i.e. I was adopted from China, thank you for asking, Bye!
E = Educate them i.e. Did you know there are over 7 million people who have been adopted in the US?
