Adoption Training & Education

The Cradle's reputation for quality adoption services is founded on a strong commitment to helping our clients make educated and informed adoption decisions.

Our educational courses and workshops serve our own direct clients as well as adoption professionals interested in helping their families learn more about specific areas of interest.

Health care and social work professionals also have access to Cradle in-service opportunities and informational materials to keep them abreast of such topics as adoption law and how to broach the topic of adoption with their patients who may be facing an unplanned pregnancy.

Our Volunteers for Adoption Education program offers high school administrators and teachers the opportunity to present accurate information about adoption to their student body. Learn more about our High School Presentations

With the addition of Adoption Learning Partners, anyone interested in adoption can access the website and find a wide range of e-learning courses created by leading adoption professionals designed to engage and inform families.
