Cultural competency is the ability to understand, appreciate, and interact with people from cultures different from your own. It involves recognizing and respecting cultural differences, being open to learning about other cultures, and applying this understanding in meaningful and respectful ways. In adoption, cultural competency is especially important, as it means acknowledging and honoring a child's birth culture and actively integrating it into their daily life.
