Thank you to everyone who joined us for last year's Family Focus Adoption Conference on November 5th, 2010.

The Adoption Support Center was proud to put on the 5th Annual Family Focus Adoption Conference: Breaking Through the  Challenges, featuring Nancy Thomas, Author and International Speaker.
 
Nancy Thomas,  mother,  grandmother,  adoptive  mom and foster mom, has worked as a Therapeutic Parenting Specialist with children who had AD, RAD, PTSD, Asperger’s, ritualistic abuse, ADD, ADHD, ODD, Tourette’s Syndrome and Bipolar Disorder.  She has shared her life and home for over 30 years with severely emotionally disturbed children.  She has an 85% success rate with these high-risk children, which is one of the highest in the country.  An author and educator specializing in bonding and conscience development, she has trained over 50,000 parents and professionals throughout the world in her effective methods.  Nancy began speaking professionally and doing consultation work in 1986. Since her work was highlighted in an HBO special in 1990 entitled CHILD OF RAGE she has become a much sought after and respected speaker. She has shared the effective keys to her high success rate in working with these high risk children in hundreds of state, county, and private agencies in 48 states, Australia, Canada, England, China, India, Ireland, Japan and Romania. Nancy has captivated audiences with love and laughter as she taught the skills to teach children how to be respectful, responsible, and fun to be around to over 35,800 parents and professionals.

The morning keynote featured Nancy Thomas and the afternoon featured regional speakers focusing on adoption, attachment, trauma related grief and loss and other topics. Family Focus 2010: Breaking Through the Challenges was held Friday November 5th at the Memphis Marriott.
