Gentle Transitions: A Newborn Baby's Point of View about Adoption

Gentle Transitions offers suggestions on what adults should think about and do to make the adoption experience work best for a baby. Presented as if written by an infant, the video was produced for birth parents, adoptive parents, and adoption professionals.

It is intended as a catalyst for discussion in adoption training. Covered are issues ranging from the importance of the adoptive family having a chance to be "pregnant" for their adopted baby to the importance of some kind of ritual to mark the transition from one family to the other.

Explanations are offered for some of the baby's behavior after the adoption and a plea is made (by the baby) for us to remember that he is watching us.
