As the crisis has unfolded in Ukraine, NCFA is aware that adopted individuals with roots in Ukraine and Russia, and their families, are grieving and grappling with how to process these events. Families who have adopted from Russia and Ukraine are impacted in a very real way by what is happening. In this free course, NCFA moderates a panel, joined by several member agencies, to provide guidance and clinical expertise for navigating this challenging time.
