Adopter Stories by Adoption Now21 Kesä 2024

...what is adoption preparation training?

One of the biggest pieces of training that takes place in Stage 1 is Preparation Training.

A 3 day, in person course in which we aim of to prepare our adopters for what’s to come during their adoption journey, so they know what to expect and also build on their knowledge of what adoption is.

So to give you a little jump start on what’s to come if and when you start your adoption story, I sat down to chat with Kayleigh, one of our experienced social workers here at adoption now, who delivers this training.

Amongst other things, we find a bit more about what prep training is and what it is that you will get out of the training.

If hearing about prep training has got you excited to find out more about how you start your adoption story, why not come along to one of our upcoming Online Information Events?

Taking place online, our Online Information Events are the perfect place to start YOUR adoption story. There you can find out all about the process itself, where preparation training fits into the process and also ask any questions you have; our social worker presenter and adopter guest speaker will be only too happy to answer your questions.

To book, simply head over to www.adoptionnow.org.uk/events

Alternatively you can also call our Information Line to start your adoption story – open 9am – 5pm Monday to Friday simply call - 01204 336096 and a member of our team will be only too happy to help you start!
