My Adoption Advisor

Just over a decade ago less than 1% of children born to never-married women were placed for adoption. Today’s societal acceptance of single parenting has likely pushed this down even further. As a result, there are many more people looking to adopt than there are women making adoption plans. This makes it even more important that you deeply understand today’s expectant parents and do everything you can to strike a meaningful and genuine connection with them. Anything short of this and you will miss opportunities to build your family.

We combined traditional adoption research with broader, non-adoption research on today’s teens and 20-somethings to bring you this unique course. This approach provides a more robust picture of who you might meet on your adoption journey. Uncover the facts, develop a more effective adoption strategy, and put yourself in a position for a faster match and healthier long-term relationships between your child, his or her birth family, and you.

During this course you will learn about today’s generation of expectant parents and will be better prepared to find and build a relationship with them based on understanding, empathy, and respect. The implications to your adoption profile and networking and advertising efforts will surprise you.

You will learn about:

• the six key influencers that affect whether someone will make an adoption plan and the corresponding characteristics of those who choose adoption
• the Millennial Generation, today’s teens and 20-somethings, and seven tips for connecting specifically with them
• the five fears that you likely share with expectant parents and how understanding this can help you connect with them

Included with this course is the Understanding Expectant Parents Training Guide. This guide provides a framework within which you can take notes during the course (key takeaways are already provided for you), complete the course exercises, and develop ideas for many aspects of your adoption, including your adoption profile and adoption advertising & networking.

Your adoption profile is the most important element of the entire domestic adoption process because it is the lens through which expectant parents will get to know you. There are thousands of deserving families looking to adopt and your profile MUST stand out from the crowd. If it paints an ineffective picture or looks and feels like all of the others, you will miss opportunities to build your family quickly.

We developed this 65-minute course based on personal experience and input from dozens of adoption professionals across the country, all in an effort to help families create an effective and a truly unique adoption profile. Discover what expectant parents want to know – and how best to communicate it – to increase your chances for a faster match with just the right expectant parents.

As you move through the course and complete the exercises you will jump-start your adoption profile by identifying what you want to communicate and how best to communicate it. You will also learn how to:

• identify the right information to include in your profile by focusing on the two objectives that every profile should strive to achieve
• avoid the two traps that families fall into that cause them to wait for a match much longer than they should
• select the right pictures for your profile by following our two-step process and accomplish something that few profiles even come close to accomplishing
• write captions for your pictures that pull readers deeper into your profile instead of pushing them to the next profile
• tell interesting stories to both engage the reader and increase opportunities for “connections” to develop

Included with this course is the Adoption Profile Training Guide. This guide provides a framework within which you can take notes during the course (key takeaways are already provided for you), complete the course exercises, and develop ideas for your own adoption profile.
