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.

Program covers:

**Three Roads to Adoption
**Public, Waiting Child Adoption
**Private, Domestic Infant Adoption

The workshop is designed to help prospective adoptive parents prepare, build confidence, and make a decision about the best route for their adoption journey.
