First, stop and take a deep breath! You’ve reached the first steps of your adoption process! Many folks find it helpful to sit down and learn a bit about the process. So let’s start with that.
Connected by Love Adoptions strongly believes in adoption education and therefore requires all applicants to complete training in order for a home study to be approved and finalized. Please take advantage of these excellent educational resources. We recommend the Domestic Infant Adoption Bundle, to start. Otherwise, feel free to browse and choose the subjects you are interested in learning more about.
After completing each course, you will receive a Certificate of Completion. This certificate will note the “hours earned.” It will be your responsibility to provide us with copies of these certificates and your education will be noted in your home study document.
For general information about your Home Study, click here. Or, reach out to [email protected] with your specific Home Study questions.
