If you are interested in international adoption, there are several informational meetings scheduled for March and April around the United States.
Attending an adoption information meeting is a great way to get started in your adoption journey. They will not only provide information about the agency that is hosting it, but will also educate you about the process of adopting from another country, and answer many of the questions you have about it.
These meetings are also a great way to meet and connect with other prospective adoptive parents.
I have put together a list of the many agencies that are holding adoption information meetings. Hopefully you will be able to find one near you. This isn’t a complete list by any means, so if you don’t find the agency you are interested in listed, contact them to see if they plan to hold an informational meeting near you.
Also, most of these agencies do not require that you are contracted with them in order to attend- they are open to the public. Though some do require advance registration. Note: by listing these agencies I am not necessarily endorsing them. Always research an agency before you contract with them.
