- The international adoption course is run by some of the
adoption agencies in Alberta. If your agency does not host a course, they will
arrange for you to attend another agency's course. The length, cost, and format
of this course varies slightly, but a common format is for the course to take
one full day and part of a second day for a price ranging from $200 - $400 per
couple. Consult your agency for exact details regarding time, place, and cost,
as they vary.
- The purpose of the course is multi-fold:
- to prepare prospective parents for the various challenges
and rewards of adopting internationally
- to provide information on how to complete the Alberta
requirements of the international adoption process
- to allow prospective parents to communicate and share with
one another information they have learned, problems they have faced, and issues
they have faced in their adoption journeys thus far
- The adoption journey is not an easy one, and this course should
provide the emotional and informational support to help make the journey an
easier one to travel.
