When people make the decision to pursue adoption after infertility, they often have many questions. These questions can include how to find a trusted adoption professional, how to finance an adoption, and whether intercountry adoption, domestic adoption, or adoption through foster care is the right fit for them.

In this 90-minute course NCFA staff provides answers to these and other questions that are frequently asked by prospective adoptive parents, as well as important considerations for parents adopting after infertility. This training provides an overview of adoption options, normalizes what is often an overwhelming experience and provides families with practical first steps on their adoption journey.

This course is made possible by the generous support of ARC Fertility.
