3 Things To Know Before You Adopt

3. Am I prepared to adopt?

There are an ever-increasing number of resources available to help you determine the answer to this question, and we encourage you to commit as much time as possible to prepare for the arrival of your child through adoption. In order for parents to anticipate and be prepared for the needs of their children, they need to learn as much as they can about early brain development and attachment challenges. This information can be found through various support groups, attachment therapists, print and online resources, and through the family’s placing agency.

The Empowered To Connect Conference offers a wide range of resources in multiple mediums, including books, articles, conferences, and videos. These resources are an entry point into helping parents gain an understanding of the needs of their children.

The resources provided through the Empowered To Connect Conference can help parents more fully connect with their child and his/her needs. Learn more about attending an Empowered To Connect Conference near you at showhope.org/connect.
