Parent Preparation

Preparing families for raising adopted children is a vital part of the adoption process. Each adult in the home is required to complete a minimum of ten hours of Adoption Education as part of the home study. MAPS offers classes that cover seven to eight of the ten hours. In these classes, we will help you prepare for the challenges and rewards that are unique to adoptive parenting, understand your baby or child’s needs, connect with other waiting families, and receive answers to your questions about raising an adopted child. See below for suggestions about completing the final two to three hours.
