ALL About Adoption:

A comprehensive step-by-step course
New to the adoption process? This course will help you navigate your next steps with greater clarity and confidence.

There’s no guidebook to adoption… until now.

At Adoption & Beyond, we’ve helped families adopt children into loving homes for nearly three decades. But when families come to us, they often feel confused, emotional, and overwhelmed.

We want the adoption process to feel smoother and faster for you, which is why we’ve created this comprehensive course.

THIS COURSE WILL HELP YOU UNDERSTAND YOUR NEXT STEPS TO ADOPTION

All About Adoption:

A comprehensive step-by-step course

Learn everything you need to know about adoption — from those critical first steps, all the way to submitting your application. Everything you need to know is right here.

We’ve created an on-demand, online course that organizes everything you need to know about adoption into eight easy-to-follow modules with all the most important details included. Having everything in one place can provide comfort and clarity for all of those unknowns.

The comprehensive step-by-step course will lead you through the entire adoption process from start to finish, as well as equip you to navigate the challenges and overwhelming joys of adoption once it’s finalized.

Along with a step-by-step overview, the course also includes keys to success, advice on navigating post-adoption, detailed handouts, and a robust FAQ section.
Consider this your complete guide to adoption as you start on this rewarding journey!

The support and education that is provided by Adoption and Beyond with the newsletters, videos, guides, blog posts, and email responses to questions has fostered a healthy environment for us to feel comfortable with continuous education about adoption, Ken and I feel that we are continuously learning more information week by week as we move along in our home study process.

How can I possibly write a good enough review to express how Adoption and Beyond helped us receive our greatest happiness? Stephanie and her team were “beyond” helpful in facilitating our adoption. We did match privately, but A&B helped us be home study ready and guided us throughout every step of the process. Even as questions come up over a year later, we can always reach out and trust they will help us. We met with several agencies before choosing to start with Adoption and Beyond and they were the clear winner, even over larger, national organizations. Everything from transparent cost with each fee, to be realistic about the time and effort involved. If we ever chose to adopt again, we would not hesitate to work with Adoption and Beyond again.

Adoption & Beyond has been amazing to work with during our adoption process. They were so informative and supportive as we were brand new to the adoption realm. Stephanie and her team took the time to answer all of our questions and make sure that we were well informed during our home study and post adoption visits. I can’t say enough good things about our journey using Adoption & Beyond and we would highly recommend them.

WE’RE SO GLAD YOU’RE HERE.

Here’s a little about us:
I’m Steffany, and I founded Adoption & Beyond, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, in 1998. I, along with each member of our staff, have been both personally and professionally impacted by adoption, and many of us have been through the home study process ourselves.

As a non-profit, child-placing agency, we work diligently to uphold ethical values and transparency in everything we do, while always keeping the child’s best interests at heart. We created the All About Adoption 101 course to help families overcome the overwhelm and get their journeys started on the right foot.
