Avenues of Adoption
There is more than one way to adopt. In fact, there are six. Which one is right for you?
Find out in Adoption & Beyond’s mini-course, designed to help you discover all the different ways you can adopt, while also learning the requirements and next steps for each.
LEARN ABOUT THE TYPES OF ADOPTION IN EASY-TO-FOLLOW MODULES.
There’s no doubt about it — the adoption process can be intimidating. You know you want to welcome a child into your home, but you aren’t sure where to start. There are many options, each of them with their own requirements, costs, and wait times.
How are you supposed to know what’s right for you? Knowledge is the first step.
Whether you already have an idea of what may be required of you, or are totally new to learning about adoption in general, The Avenues of Adoption Mini-Course will help make the process easier to understand.
It comes with a downloadable guide and video lessons on each method, so if you aren’t sure which to choose, or you’ve already ruled out a few options, you can start the process with confidence and clarity because you’re armed with the right resources.
What’s Included In Our Adoption Avenues Course:
Learn the requirements for each avenue of adoption, such as:
- Parent age requirements
- Marriage status requirements
- Financial stability
- Medical History
- Processing time
- Average cost and fees associated
- And more!

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.
