Adoption Academy- Virtual 8-week Series

The Adoption Academy offers prospective adoptive parents educational
programs from an objective source. Our goal is to bring information together
in a comprehensive and sensitive manner to help prospective parents make
informed adoption choices. The Academy is an eight-week series.
We recommend participants attend all classes for the most complete information
about adoption. However, registrants can skip sessions they are not interested in.
Taking this class may not satisfy the detailed educational requirements of county
children’s service agencies for adoptions they process or Hague requirements.
