Attend an Info Meeting
  Adoptive Parents - Want to get started? - Attend an Introductory Informational Meeting
   

The first step in the adoption process is to attend one of the information meetings listed below. If you are new to adoption and still wondering about which program may be right for you, the General Adoption meeting is a great place to start. At that meeting we will introduce you to the international and domestic process including our Sayers Center for African American Adoption. We'll talk about the children available for adoption in the US and throughout the world and introduce you to open adoption. At the end of the presentation, we'll take time to answer any questions you may have.

Russia and Sayers meetings are designed for families who may have already researched their adoption options and have a specific interest in one particular program. At these meetings we will go into more depth regarding program specifics.

NEW! Online Meetings - We now offer an online versions of our information meetings that you can view when and where it is most convenient for you. These online presentations will allow you to start your journey to adopt today!
