Adoption 101: Where Do I Begin?

Adoption 101: Where Do I Begin?

Considering becoming a parent or expanding a family through adoption can be both exciting and overwhelming. There is so much information available about adoption that people often ask, Where do I begin? Adoption 101 is a workshop intended for people looking into adoption for the first time. The program covers: three roads to adoption—waiting child adoption, domestic infant adoption, international adoption; adoption providers; financial considerations; adoptive parent and birth parent panel; adoption as a lifelong journey; questions and answers; and ethics.

The workshop is designed to help prospective parents prepare, build confidence, and make a decision about the best route for their adoption journey. Adoption Network Cleveland is a neutral source of information, as we are not an adoption agency facilitating any adoptions.
