This course was excellent. I feel like I have a real base to work from to help these students in my class - stay calm, be patient and understanding, breathe. I've gained lots of information on the background of adopted children and where they're coming from. Thank you for helping me see the value of being proactive with these students. - Elementary Teacher, Littleton Public Schools

During her presentations, Jennifer uses herself and personal examples. I think that is a good example to set. She seems “real” and in touch with herself. – Training Attendee

I would highly recommend your training class to any person dealing with children in foster care, especially after biological children. After this class, I will be a much better foster parent, thanks to you. – Foster Parent

Saturday's class on Attachment taught by Jen was more than fantastic. As a second time adoptee, I was surprised how much I learned. I also was happy that the information that Jen presented that I was familiar with rang true with the "adoption experts" research I had/have been reading since we started the first process in 2003. There is no substitute for education of adoptive parents along the way. And, in my opinion, attachment should be at the top of that list. Jen presented the material in an informative, non-threatening, and non-shaming way. Thank you, Jen and thanks for the extra hand-holding.

I like how much Jen’s material is really directed towards us as parents and individuals rather than just focusing on the kids and their behaviors. – Adoptive Parent

Jen was awesome. Her experience as a professional lends huge credibility and her transparency as a person makes her very believable, approachable, and empathetic to our situations. Thank you, Jen, for your commitment to hope and these "little ones," regardless of age, who so desperately need to experience the grace and love of Christ in tangible ways. By empowering us, you make that happen. – Foster/Adoptive Parent
