Get an Adoption Education
The National Adoption Center expands adoption opportunities for children living in foster care throughout the United States, and provides adoption suppport to families and to agencies who seek the permanency of caring homes for children. To further our mission we are developing a complete, online family preparation training program -- The Adoption Roadmap -- for prospective adoptive and foster parents interested in receiving an adoption education. Our intention is that those who have been thinking of adoption, those who work in the adoption and foster care field, and other professionals who work with those whose lives have been touched by adoption, may learn via this series of interactive courses.
