Child Appreciation Meeting

A Child Appreciation Meeting (or Day) is a crucial meeting in the adoption process where prospective adopters meet professionals and caregivers involved in a child's life to gain a deep, holistic understanding of the child's history, experiences, needs, and potential triggers, helping to build a comprehensive life story and ensure a smoother transition to a new family. It's a structured event to gather emotional and factual insights beyond standard reports, connecting the "who, what, when, and why" of a child's past to their future.
