I especially like all the video clips in Ain't Misbehavin' that give concrete examples of discipline vs. punishment and strategies that parents can use. The interactivity of the course is very engaging.

Adopting internationally today can be demanding on prospective parents. Which country is a possibility for you depending on your marital status, age, and child requirements? Which countries are likely to still be open for international adoption when you complete your home study? Which countries require travel and for how long?
Once you have settled on your country of choice, you then need to fulfill that country's paperwork and training requirements. This is where Adoption Learning Partners comes in. Many of the required training topics, especially those outlined by the Hague Treaty on Inter-country Adoption, are specifically covered by our coursework.
In addition to these requirements, families adopting from abroad will want to learn more about things like honoring their child's birth culture or creating a lifebook.
The following course are designed for adopting internationally:
- Medical Issues in International Adoption
- Conspicuous Families: Race, Culture, and Adoption
- The Journey of Attachment
- Adopting the Older Child
- Let's Talk Adoption: A Lifetime of Family Conversations
- Finding the Missing Pieces: Helping Adopted Children Cope with Grief and Loss
- China: Her Land & People, History, and Philosophies
- China: Language, Festivals, and Traditions
- With Eyes Wide Open
- Lifebooks
