Multiple Transitions: A Young Child's Point of View on Foster Care and Adoption SPANISH-Language Version. In response to a great many inquiries and suggestions from child welfare and infant-parent programs serving Hispanic populations across the US, we set about the task of turning our film, “Multiple Transitions: A Young Child’s Point of View About Foster Care and Adoption” into a Spanish-language, culturally-attuned film that could be used with Hispanic audiences. We knew it would not be enough to simply translate the words into Spanish. The film had to take cultural differences into account, the little voices had to be those of children of Hispanic origin, and the music had to be just right. Now, 15 months later, we are ready to release “Transiciones Multiples: El Punto de Vista de un Nino Sobre el Cuidado de Familias de Acogida Temporal y la Adopcion”. In the process, we had the priceless help of Janet Rodriguez, MSW, Director of Hispanic Cultural Awareness in Columbia, South Carolina. Not only did Janet supervise the three translations (to make sure we had accounted for various dialects), recruit the little children to speak the parts, and advise us on cultural issues, but she even organized two pilot showings to varied Hispanic audiences. She also helped us find Enrique Cardenas, of Bayamon, Puerto Rico, who composed the original music for this version of our film. VHS ($19.95) DVD ($63.00) If you decide to order two or more VHS titles, we will include, at no charge, a copy of the 2008 book: Baby Verses: The Narrative Poetry of Infants and Toddlers. Make sure you put your free copy of Baby Verses in your cart ONLY when purchasing two VHS's. |
