Domestic Infant Adoption Education

Every new home study for a pre-adoptive family is required to include 10 hours of completed adoption training. Both parents are required to complete this education to meet that requirement. 

Please complete the Domestic Infant Adoption Training Package. In addition to the 10-hour package, all families must complete the following Trust Based Relational Intervention courses:

  • Connected Parenting; Understanding TBRI
  • Trauma-Informed Parenting; Practical Application of TBRI 
  • Introduction to Attachment
