We are pleased to announce that our newest course, Adopting the Older Child, will be available on the Adoption Learning Partners website next week. This course will help you determine whether adopting an older child, either internationally or through the domestic child welfare system, is right for you. The course will award two hours of training credit.
Coinciding with the launch of this new course we will implement changes to our fee structure. I will highlight them for you:
Thank you for your support.
