ANCHOR A-OK Educational Classes, Series 1
January 28
For those pursuing the domestic adoption of an older child or an international adoption
The A-OK and international educational classes are referred to as ANCHOR (Attach, Nurture, Commit, Healing, Open-minded, Resilience). They are specific to those considering the adoption of an older child or children. The classes give attendees a great deal of information that prepares them for adopting a child waiting in the United States foster care system or out of country care. Families are given the opportunity to assess personal interest, readiness, and commitment to adopt an older child. If you are considering the adoption of a waiting child or a child from another country, this is for you.
Due to the preparation necessary for adoption through the foster care system or coming to the United States from another country, training consists a total of 28 classroom hours. You must attend the entire series (the in-person and virtual components).
