“Investing in Your Family”
Older Child Adoption Training Program

Adopting a child over the age of three is an incredible blessing to the child, living birth relatives and the adoptive family.  But it’s often not easy to assimilate a child with life experiences into family life.  Both children and adoptive families can feel overwhelmed with all the adjustments that are required.

/files/Images/Adoption Training/ThreeGirls.jpgThe Lord has a special heart for orphans and calls believers to care for them.  Adoption is the most long-term means through which we can do this.  Adoption is a form of evangelism and discipleship and can result in many lives being changed for eternity.  But that doesn’t mean it’s easy.

 

Our desire is to prepare families so their adoptions don’t just succeed but thrive.  We want families to understand the challenges and issues they will likely face with their adopted children and to be prepared with tools for coping. 

 

/files/Images/Adoption Training/eth-olderkids.jpgThe trainings are presented by adoption professionals, experienced adoptive parents, adopted children, and adults from our children’s countries in order to give parents as much help in advance as possible.

 

Appropriate for families adopting older children internationally or domestically, these trainings are a wise investment in the future of your family.
