Welcome to Adoption Education, LLC.

Our on-line courses are designed to promote successful intercountry and domestic adoptions.

We provide

• Accountability - "students" must pass a quiz after taking each course
• Certificates of completion
• Automatic e-mail notification to the Agency
• Records of the nature and extent of training

Why should agencies encourage or require pre-adoption training?

1. Research indicates that informed, prepared parents with realistic expectations and proper social and professional support have more successful adoptive placements. Conversely, unprepared, uninformed parents with unrealistic expectations are more likely to have significant problems with their children, or even to disrupt their adoption.

2. The Hague Convention on Intercountry Adoption requires 10 hours of training for prospective adoptive parents.

Effective April 2009, prospective adoptive parents who are having a homestudy completed or certified by an Oregon licensed adoption agency must complete 10 hours of pre-adoption training. Click here to see which on-line courses meet Oregon's educational requirements.
