"Being a Multiracial/Multicultural Family" (Tele-training) Many adoption agencies understand that multiracial families are likely to face a variety of "race-related" issues in their everyday lives. We also understand that when families are prepared with tools and knowledge, the issues become minimal and allow families to focus on "being a family" and experiencing an expanded world. In order to prepare families planning to adopt transracially who do not live in the Chicagoland area, Bridge Communications offers tele-training for multi-racial living. Tele-training is simply providing a training course via a conference call. This session is presented by Bridge Communications, Inc. an organization that has been training prospective adoptive families for over seven years. Their programs incorporate interactive training exercises along with actual experiences from members of multi-racial families.
