For all those who plan to adopt a child, one of the most difficult stages in building a relationship with a future new family member is their first meeting. Many of the anxieties of the adoptive parents are connected with this moment. How do I put the child to me when I get to know each other? How to contact him? How to explain to him who you are and why you came? How to convince that you do not pose a threat to him?

To ensure that this complex of difficult tasks does not hit the adoptive parents at the first official meeting and does not alienate the child, the experts recommend that they get acquainted first with the staff of the orphanage in which they found the child and ask them to organize a preliminary meeting with the child – in The moment when he will be in the habitual environment for him, in which he feels safe, in the children’s collective in which he is brought up. And the adopter will come to this children’s collective “unofficially” – as a guest.

What are the advantages of such a preliminary meeting, the candidate of psychological sciences Yuri Kashpur, deputy director of our rehabilitation center for helping children, will tell. Our specialists help in the preparation of such meetings.
