We believe that educated families are strong families. Our online learning platform is designed to satisfy pre-adoption home study requirements for families adopting domestically or internationally and in-service training needs of foster families. We also have a large body of coursework to support families post-adoption and ways to better serve their foster or kinship children. Each one hour, audio course is followed by a 10-question quiz. Scores of 80% or higher on the quiz entitle the learner to a Certificate of Completion.

We work with many of the leading adoption agencies in the country, many of whom partner with us to offer families discounted or free access to all of our courses and packages. If your agency would like more information, please email [email protected].
