What our customers have to say...
I've taken several of your courses and they have been extremely helpful. Definitely worth the time and money.
Creating A Family is an absolutely INVALUABLE resource to us. At this point, we have no idea what “our child’s” history/background is, but the info/education we’ve received from you has given us hope and perspective. Thank you!
Highly recommend for everyone who is on their own journey or are supporting others in building their families.

The AdoptEd Center: Online Education for Parents has been an invaluable resource for our families both pre- and post-adoption.
Trainings are an essential part of the pre-adoption phase, and we are seeing an increasing number of families realize the value of training and additional resources in post-adoption. The fact that Creating a Family has a wide variety of topics makes it easy for families to find what they need, as well as helping to normalize what the families and children are experiencing.
I did an online course and loved it!
Love these courses! I can’t get enough information in my adoption preparation, and these are easy and enjoyable!
So thorough! Can’t think of anything I would improve.
Loved the ADHD class!
The courses were fun and very convenient.
You offered great resources that broke down the meaning of a lot of my child’s actions and behaviors, which made me think about them in a more helpful, productive way.
